I really liked this doctor when I first went to him several years ago, but he has since been in such a hurry. I made an appointment due to illness and he came in to give me a flu shot and HPV shot. Did not ask how I was feeling or what my symptoms were. It was like I made the appointment to get the vaccinations which wasn't the case. Very disappointed and will not return.

He is a terrific doc. Have been seeing him for years now. He has always worked with me to get the treatment needed each visit and always follows up on results of labwork, etc. Seems hurried, somewhat anxious lately, but what doc isn't? Still takes the time that I need. Nursing staff is great!

You've outdone yourself again Mister Desapri. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit yesterday, and felt all my concerns were addressed. Thank you!

He is a good doctor. He can be a little hurried but last year when I was always sick to my stomach he took the time to find out and get to the bottom of the issue. :) I am happy with him and have no plans to switch doctors.

Dr. was in to much of a hyurry. He came in striaght to the computer, talked as he typed. handed me some paperwork. Said thank you and left the room. My second visit was even worse he did the samehaing did not even make eye contac with me either time. Only this time he did not listen to a word I had to say and, when he seen that I was in a lot of pain he simply left the room and DID NOT come back. He is NOT caring at all. His staff is the same way with the exception of his male nurse. I do not recommened him until he gets a lot more experience under his belt to know how to LISTEN and CARE about his patients.

He truly cares about the patient . Takes his time even if he is running behind--actually listens to what patient is saying and asks good questions to help get to the bottom of the issue. I recently returned to his office--driving 45 minutes to see him. It's worth it.

Needs to relax and calm down. Acts rushed even when waiting room is empty. Computer gets immediate attention then the patient.
