I am a Snowbird, actually a Florida resident so I'm in western NY State less than 6 months a year. However I've gone to the practice in Perry, NY since shortly after it opened - probably close to 40 years and long before I became a FL resident. I tell you all this because I've always felt I have gotten excellent care at this practice, and they do have concern for their patients. This includes everyone on their staff. This office visit did not disappoint. I have a primary care doctor in Florida. I much prefer the practice in Perry.
