Patient Reviews
Dec 12, 2024
I miss Dr Urso! He is the best that there is. Well rounded in every subject matter and truly cares for his patients. Not the doctor to write you a prescription and say bye. He restored my faith in believing that some doctors have the calling and willing to help their patients. I've been coming online weekly since July seeking some form of update on him. It will be hard to find another doctor like him.
