The doctor was the most patient, unhurried and took his time. I did not feel rushed or that he wasn't listening to me.

Dr. Fasanella is professional, personable and puts explanations in layman's terms with good analogies.

I was so pleased with Dr. Fasanella. It was so easy to talk with him and be able to ask questions. I've had the unpleasant experience of attempting to talk with a doctor and they've seemed offended, like me asking a question is challenging their intelligence or position. I truly applaud Dr. Fasanella's "patient personality". No hesitation, I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

Good experience

Every encounter with Dr. Fasenella over the years has been positive and reassuring. Monitoring for the possibility of pancreatic cancer requires a "special" sort of doctor. Dr. F excels in his role.

Dr. Fasenella is very conscientious, caring and thorough.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/29/2023
Dr. Fasanella was very clear and spent more than enough time discussing my condition and the tests and care that are needed.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/15/2023
Was very professional. I especially appreciated, when I mentioned that I was a doctor of chiropractic, he elevated his part of our discussion with respect for my education, which is not something I've been afforded by other medical doctors who have shown some degree of disdain for those in my profession.

I will highly recommend Dr Fassanelli!

Excellent communicator, able to explain medical diagnoses, processes, and treatment options In an In-depth but a very clear and easy to understand way. Receptive and willing to address my questions thoroughly. Thank you!!

I have a quite perplexing diagnosis along with additional medical issues. I have never had an issue with the doctor explaining The diagnosis what I can do and what I can't do and shouldn't do but not without a thorough explanation as to why. My input is always included. I always feel that I am a part of my health care along with the physician and other staff. The doctor is always respectful of my opinions, an actively listens and he always gives me advice where we are proactive in treating this over 20-year problem that probably could have been taken care of way back then. The doctor always keeps everything positive in nature that we deal with currently
