Dr. Mark Genovese is a wonderful doctor and that is why I travel from my home in SF because he does a great job of treating a foot I broke in a auto accident way back in 1949.
Outstanding!! This isn't enough space to express my gratitude to Dr. Genovese and team. From being wheel-chaired in to my first appointment to being independently mobile with a cane or occasional walker, his care improved my life, (with minimal pain).
Dr. Genovese has been so patient and helpful during my/visits. I appreciate him and all of his knowledge for getting me through this journey.
If only all mds could be as excellent in all these categories. He really does excel.
Very good experience.
A superb & knowledgeable clinician.
Dr. Genovese is the best physician I have ever had render care to me. He is genuine and generous, smart, empathetic, and with a great sense of humor. I would never have imagined that I would have a chronic immunologic disease and have to take such complex and potentially toxic medications. So I consider myself extreme lucky to have such a talented, experienced physician.
