Dr Scibetta Practices Medicine the way it Used to Done. He was Professional, Friendly, Caring, Compassionate and Very Knowledgeable. That said, He took Me from a Women so Frustrated with No Answers that I was near Tears, to a Women with Hope. Patiently Dr S. Explained the process of elimination to arrive at a Diagnosis. His Confidence and Expertise Calmed My Soul. He looked at Me and said "I know Your Pain is Real" and together we are going to Solve this problem." At that Point I knew I was in Great Hands. At that point, I knew God had sent me one of His Angels. I went from Dispair to Hope. Dr Scibetta did that with his Incredible Bedside Manner.
