— Catholic Health ProviderMatch (Patient review for Dr. George DeNoto)"My Doctor is great but everything else that deals with catholic health is a nightmare. My Doctor was on vacation so I had to see different one, she made a mistake inputting the service she provided and that started my nightmare. Billing department just doesn't care to get problems resolved."
