thank you to all who recommended dr. Vincent Sperandeo at fusion healthcare (right by uncle g's). i've been searching for a new gp, and i went to him this morning and love the way the practice operates! very comfortable, personal feeling, and fantastic philosophies on patient care (i.e., wellness/disease prevention, appointment times that work for you, calls that go straight to dr and his wife (who is a nurse practitioner and also helps run the practice), urgent care appts instead of waiting at STAT in a room of germs, etc.). i wish them the best of luck, and believe that they're definitely filling a need in this area!
