    There are doctors whose very presence tell you, "I am here to help you," and Dr. Restifo embodies this level of caring awareness for the patient. He was aware that I had an x-ray to take and he said if you are using this facility, come back after it is done and he will look at it, and that, of course, I could await the radiologist's report soon to come. To take those few moments so that we could know a little more was exceptional. Follow through has become so rare in today's fast medicine. Compassionate, thoughtful, thorough - and all attended with a sense of humor - Thank you!

    Dr.Robert Restifo is the best he saved my life when I was diagnosed with a lung issue that an incompetent doctor had told me about. He was completely wrong about his diagnosis. The meds he prescribed for me were Detrimental to my health. I went to Dr. Restifo for a second opinion and he quickly found out that I had been prescribed the wrong medication and I did not have any symptoms whatsoever of clots in my lungs. It was pneumonia. He Immediately took me off the other medicine and treated me for pneumonia symptoms and I got much better no more blood thinners that's the other doctor had prescribed. Since He started treating me. I'm getting better by day. It's a slow process but it's getting there. Thank you, Doc. I ref first responder from 911 and I have breathing issues that he helps me navigate through coughing Is the main concern associated Chronic asthma and erosion of esophagus
