Excellent experience.
I'm very grateful for Dr. Pompei's time and kindness. Showing up after 10 days of a bad cold, he diagnosed precisely the issue & prescribed some over-the-counter medications I hadn't thought of myself that had me feeling much better by the next day. He listened well, explained everything in a way I could understand, provided printed discharge instructions which was great. I left feeling well taken care of & confident I'd get better soon. Thank you Dr. Pompei for being wonderful!
Outstanding, thank you!
Doc was fantastic.
Dr. Pompei took time to explain about new shots he recommended, explain about new sleeping peels.
Very good.
Very good experience.
Dr. Pompei is the BEST!!

Very good experience.
I'm happy w/Dr. Pompei".
My care was provided almost exclusively by interns & residents. Dr. Pompei mostly interacted with them rather than me the patient.
In my opinion, you can't do better than Dr. Peter Pompei
The best provider ever!
When first scheduled visit w/senior care clinic expected a physician who expressed greater care & compassion/understanding for someone with dementia & their caregiver. Did not find that to be the case.
Good.
I HAVE recommended Dr. Pompei.
