Dr Cafarella was SO thorough and friendly. I recently switched [...] to Dignity based on my dad's recommendation. I'm never going back. I came from two other doctors who ran no tests didn't listen, forced me to pay out of pocket for tests that showed things that needed BRAIN surgery... So when I met with Dr Cafarella I was instantly nervous she'd be like them, but she wasn't! She was so friendly and thorough. I'm trying to get my whole family to go to her.
