Patient Reviews
Sep 25, 2021
I am a patient of Dr Michael DeSantis & Joel Kunze PA-C. I have been seen by each provider in the past year. I my self being in the medical profession, I am so impressed with their expertise; competence; and personal attention given by these fine medical providers. On a routine physical, Dr DeSantis called me at home on a Sunday to provide me with the good news of normal lab results. Joel Kunze PA-C came in on his day off to perform a minor surgical procedure on me. The entire staff is so friendly and personable. I believe the positive working environment and friendly staff reflects in the leadership of these fine medical providers
