Dr. Dragone treated my children and myself (until I left NY). I've found some great doctors here in Florida but I do miss my Dr. Dragone. I second and third all the nice things said on this page.

The most compassionate caring Dr. I have ever been to. I too am a health care provider and work with many Drs.. Dr. Dragone has a heart of gold, takes his time listening and diagnosing . I thank god he is my family primary physician. yes it may be hard to get an appt. and yes reception staff can be rude but the are not providing care. I'm willing to wait for such a wonderful Dr.
