Review for Dr. Vercio

Dr Ghidella 1st time hand dr for me…… very thorough examination of my hand wanted my explanation of what’s wrong with me? Explained all of the things they do to try and help and then said surgery was what I needed. Asked me several times if I had questions went through exactly what would happen...

Review for Dr. Ghidella

Most amazing character I’ve encountered with any Doctor. He took the time to analyze responses before answering my concerns. He is very supportive and understanding to military service members and getting me the surgical help I need to get me back to service. Thank you Dr. Vercio!
