Reviews
Dr. CATINIS IS DOING ALL HE CAN TO RELIEVE MY PAIN AND SWELLING I AM SO GRATEFUL
Great Doctor and easy to talk to.
After the Covid nightmare Ive lost confidence in the medical field not so with Dr.Catinis
Such an amazing Doctor !
My visit was a follow up after a procedure. I was admitted to the exam room after a short wait and Dr. Catinis arrived after a few minutes. He reviewed my procedure and gave me options for the future. I agreed with the option he suggested and was discharged. I am most satisfied with my appointment.
