I've been admitted to st Davids several times due to a chronic illness. He's one of the most compassionate and caring doctors who have ever treated me in the hospital. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Aterno took care of my mother after she had heart problems. He is very intellectual, compassionate, and pays strict attention to detail. We could not have ask for a better physician to care for her.
