Patient Reviews
Dec 03, 2017
I met Dr. Pessa who was on call when I presented with appendicitis. He was immediately likeable and assuring to this patient. He did my appendectomy late in the evening. Went without a hitch, on the outside at any rate. I was up and walking shortly after midnight and went home in the morning. He can take any of my disposable organs if need be!
