Horrible!!! I booked an appointment for a full body check and several concerning areas. Dr Costa walked in, asked to see my ankle, I told her I had several areas of concern and she looked at her nurse and said this is a full check. She looked irritated & clearly was in a hurry. I never got my full check. She asked if I wanted the growth on my ankle sent out.. I asked what she thought and she said if it grows back again we can check it next time. WHAT? 6-8 minutes top in the room.. all hurried. I was told to bring cash to pay, which I did... at check out I was told not to worry about it... 2 months later I get a bill for $1300!!! Absolutely disgusting!! The charges are ridiculous!! I didn’t even get the full check I requested... I STILL have areas of concern that Dr Costa didn’t even look at. Horrible.. Do NOT use this office!!!!

Thorough, professional, personable. Tip for if you are considering starting: if the office you live closest to (Bloomfield or Wexford) is tight schedule-wise, simply schedule your 1st appt. in the other office, then have subsequent appts. in office closest to you.

Dr Costa is professional and personable. I would send anyone I know to see her. It sometimes gets a bit frustrating if you have to wait past your appointment time but once in a room, the Dr Costa does come in fairly quickly and her demeanor is always positive. Excellent physician...

She explained step by step what she was going to do and a clear course of action. I felt very comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Dr. Costa.
