Review for Dr. Scimeca
I've been seeing him for over 15 years. He is the only primary that would go out of his way to make sure you were taken care of. The staff in the office was a different story. His bedside manner was impeccable and he didn't just rush you out the door.

Review for Dr. Brunozzi
I saw Dr. Horan today at the ER in Kannapolis, NC and she was outstanding. She explained how a muscle spasm in my back was causing pain in my rib. She was very helpful in getting me to the next phase of treatment for the pain. She is one of the best doctors I have ever had in the emergency room...
