Awesome Dr!!!!
Very efficient appointment. Also the location in Charlestown is very convenient.
I had an urgent medical issue and I was very appreciative that Dr. Trinidad was willing to squeeze me into the appointment. It is very difficult to get dermatology appointments and so I'm grateful that he was able to see me in this situation on short notice.
