    If my doctor can't see me, there are visual cues that cannot be accessed to assist with diagnosis.

    Im so happy that iam Dr Faticas patient. He is so knoweledgeable,not only understanding my kidney but other related issues I've been having. In one visit he does more to help me than some of the other specialists I see in a few visits. Im grateful for him,he is very kind and truly cares. I just wish he wasn't 50 miles away. But we figure out how to have regular appts. At the moment he is really helping me move forward on a health issue that should have been addressed first by my local doctors. He wasted no time getting me a referral to get the 'ball rolling' Truly grateful

    Dr. Fatica, Dr. Siriani , and the staff spent time with me to diagnose and make sure I understood any issues and concerns. Dr. Fatica even followed up with a personal email after the appointment. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fatica and his staff.
