Review for Dr. Fiore
Dr. Chammas is a carrying physician that goes the extra mile for his patients. Dr. Chammas saved my life and I’m for ever grateful to him.

Review for Dr. Chammas
The doctor is at a serious age, which greatly complicates communication, the environment is not very friendly, Analyzes and other information is not saved.

Review for Dr. Magat
I took my 96 year old dad to him and he missed his congestive heart failure. Took to urgent care next day and Dr. Fiori sent him to the hospital immediately. My dad could have died.
