"They are very rude, they hang up on you when they don't want to listen to you, I was almost waiting for blood tests for almost a month and when I called to find out about my health they hung up on me"
— LocalityBiz Review (Abby Ochoa)"They just put me on several "lifetime" medications, trying to find a medication for nothing I requested. Troubling that I went to a doctor for help and would not give me a path to a specialist because it didn't help their bottom line."
— LocalityBiz Review (Gregory Stievenart)"Dr. Damico is a very thoughtful doctor who thoroughly evaluates her patient's concerns. I have confidently referred her to many people. The office is pleasant and the staff is friendly and efficient."
