Get To Know Me
My patients are my priority and I listen to them first and foremost. I consider myself a team player and together with my patient will develop their individual care plan.
What is the most important thing your patients should expect from their professional relationship with you? What do you expect from them?
Trust and honesty going both ways are very important in a patient-physician relationship. I will give my patients the personalized care that they need.
How do you spend your personal time when you're not caring for patients?
I am involved in my church and love the outdoors.
Why did you choose your specialty and what is its greatest reward?

Dr. B is very kind always and caring which I truely appreciate. He is always informative about the things I need to know and continues to educate me on my condition each time I see him. He makes a wonderful doctor and I am thankful to have him to be a patient of Dr. B. Deborah Stroffolino
