Dr Brassco I assume is a good dr. We never met him. My sister was being treated for colitis and at her last visit the nurse practitioner put her on some new meds which resulted in her having to go to the ER and was advised by the ER dr told us to follow up with dr Brassco’s office. So after multiple calls and messages the nurse never would return our calls to see what we needed to do. So if you have an emergency and need to contact his nurse you might as well forget it because she will not return your call..

Clarissa does not have the courteous manner to be answering the phone and delivering test results. I may have to find another specialist. I do not look forward to going back to this Dr office.
