Reviews
Love Dr. Catinis. Great bedside manners. Dr. Catinis listens to his patients concerns and address them appropriately. He takes his time with you.
Dr. Catinis, explain the whole procedure how it would be done.so I had full confidence in him perform my procedure.
Dr. Catinis and his staff were very nice and super informative. I had lots of questions going into my visit and they listened to me. They made me feel like a person rather than a number.
The facility was very organized and clean. The staff was friendly, helpful and efficient. And my Doctor ( Dr Catinis) is the best Doctor ever. So all this made an (annoying procedure) very bearable quick and easy !!
Dr. Catinis is a great doctor
