Review for Dr. Appasani

Your Review: star rating iconHad the nerve to say I should thank him for taking the appointment!! Seems to spin things, not sure he even knew how to help my daughter but as soon as my questions came he seemed to feel insulted and insecure! Very attacking. Met him a year and a half ago and nothing...
