Very knowledgeable and compassionate
Dr Vizzi is very skilled and knowledgeable. He took the time needed to address my concerns and questions. I did not feel like I was being rushed. Each tech, as well as X-ray tech, were so sweet and knew their skills well. The front staff was always welcoming and helpful on each visit as well as when I called. I was really impressed with how short my wait time was each time. Even for physical therapy sessions. My whole experience with my wrist fracture was very much a great experience. Thank you, Dr Vizzi and staff!!
