Dr. Brian did a great job humanizing himself. I like that I can go in and not feel like I'm talking to just a doctor who cares about me as a number, but a doctor and a person who cares about me as a person.
I found my entire visit quick, efficient, but not rushed. Everyone was friendly and knowledgeable, and I left feeling quite confident in the next stage of my health journey.
I saw Brian Costa today and he was wonderful! Personable, thorough and helpful!
I met Brian, NP for the first time today, and I was immediately impressed. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and it was clear he had reviewed my chart ahead of time, which made the visit feel smooth and personalized.
All but one of the staff are very professional and competent. One receptionist, name forgotten, is probably one of the rudest people I have met. And it's not only this occasion. My wife has had issues with her in the past. She needs to not be dealing with patients.
Brian is an excellent practitioner . I would recommend him to anyone.
Listened to what I had to say.
