My primary care physician, Dr Christiopolous Is excellent. She takes time to fully understand your problems. Makes herself available for questions and follows up on referrals.

The doctor needs to work on his bedside manners to the patients, the whole time he seemed annoyed by the questions I had and it made me feel like he did not care at all for me. Looked like he didn't want to be there at all and like he was doing me a favor just by being there. I would not recommend Dr. Haggerty or be seeing him again.
