Dr. Ercole Did a terrific job. She answered all of our questions and made sure that all options for treatment were provided and explained. She even drew us a chart showing all options and all possible secondary courses of action. I am going to frame that chart and hang it in my house as a reminder of what a great job she did. Couldn't be happier with her knowledge, delivery and concern and with her sense of humor discussing a difficult subject for us. She is a true asset to your organization.
