Very polite and has a great bedside manner. He’s very attentive to needs and an overall great physician.
Dr. Verrina did a great job explaining and recommending treatment options for my Dad. He gave thorough information about my Dad’s symptoms and provided reassurance. He permitted me to participate virtually while my sister and Dad participated in a face-to-face visit. I was pleased with the consult and next course of action.
Really like my doctor
Top notch!!
