Dr. Speranza is great! Always listens and explains everything.

Basically this provider discouraged me. I had an issue I wanted help wi5. She was negative about results and didn't give options for other treatments. When I asked why she went into this field she said so she could help people..while I understand her concern for giving all the risks I think it could have been presented better rather than emphasizing the negative. I may consult another provider in the future.
