Dr. Suffoletto is the Best!
She is excellent
Excellent !
Excellent evaluation from Dr. she listened to me explain my concern
She makes you feel special and as though you are her only patient.
None, she is well versed and competent.
When I had an urgent medical issue (but not emergency dept) Dr. Suffoletto was able to act as my primary care physician although we had never met before. She demonstrated compassion and also provided expert advice, setting up lab work and CT scan to get done the same day. This led to a clear diagnosis and treatment plan within about 8 hours of our video visit. She kept in touch throughout the day, looped in my usual primary care doctor, made a clinic referral for me, and called me in the evening to check on progress, medication, and next steps. Dr. Suffoletto communicated very clearly, and I had complete confidence in her expertise. She worked efficiently but without rushing. I'm grateful to have landed in her capable hands when my PCP was not immediately available.
