Patient Reviews
Aug 17, 2023
Dr. Rapuano was my mom's doctor. She was a very difficult patient who usually didn't follow orders, although she always insisted to be seen on a regular basis, likely for attention. I regret that Dr.Rapuano likely had patients with more serious issues and mom taking up his time. He was never short with her and always polite and professional. I just want to say thanks to him. Mom passed a year ago at 95. I will always remember the thoughtful care that Dr. Rapuano provided.
