I was very, very satisfied with Dr. Turissini's care and the girl in the nurse's office and the receptionist. I was very satisfied with everybody.
Very satisfying
He listened to my question and answered them.
I like Dr. Turissini very much, I've been seeing him for quite a few years, and I have no complaints. They provide great service and I think he is an excellent doctor. This is all I'd like to say.
Dr Turissini is a first rate physician, and I have been seeing him for about 13 years. Officially, he is my cardiologist, and was, also, to my spouse for about 25 years. His work extended our lives, I believe, a great many years.
He did an outstanding job. He's an active listener. He listens well. He thinks and then he gives you medical terms that you can understand and explains everything. I'd say he did an outstanding job.
The doctor makes you feel very relaxed and he is very, very easily understood and he asks for my input and always covers every prescription we have and asks if I need refills. I am very happy with him. Thank you.
Dr. Turissini was excellent. Great bedside manner. It was my first time seeing him and he asked thoughtful questions about my medical and family history. He explained my condition in an understandable way. He answered all of my many questions. I would strongly recommend him
Dr. Turissini was very friendly and knowledgeable, answered all my questions. I'd see him anytime.
Dr. Turissini is thorough and I feel confident that I have his full attention and never feel my cost is rushed.
