      Dr. Veraldi has been nothing but fantastic in my care and addressing my concerns and issues. She takes the time to listen and is always accessible. She returns my calls and messages. She never feels like she is rushing and genuinely is interested in my care. She has no problem reaching out to other colleagues for consultation for my best possible outcomes.
