I always feel welcome with a friendly staff! Dr Cefalu always has time to answer any questions I may have. My last visit was a nuclear stress test and a scan checking my carotid arteries. The staff was so pleasant and explained every detail which each procedure ! I know that Dr Cefalu is taking care of my health!
