I have always had a history of medical anxiety and trauma - [redacted] When I found out I needed my gallbladder removed, I was obviously extremely nervous. [redacted] Meeting with Dr. Froio, I immediately was at ease. His calm approach, amazing personality, and deep care for his patients is evident. He eased my nerves, took the time to talk me through all my anxieties, and I never in my life thought I would be excited (or even agree) to a surgery - but I look forward to meeting him on [redacted] to get this out and improve my quality of life without pain. In addition to his incredible patience, knowledge, and care, he heard how much pain I was in and added me onto his busy schedule to get me in as soon as possible. This level of care is extraordinary and something I never knew existed. I am so incredibly happy and relieved to have found him. He is an irreplaceable physician to the field and by far the most overwhelmingly positive experience I have ever had with a care provider. Not only that, but his receptionist and nurses were phenomenal as well. So thank you Dr. Froio and your team!
