I am extremely happy with the care I have received from Dr. Pedro Cosculluela.
He is attentive and spends time answering questions, regardless of how long it takes. He is a gifted surgeon and I highly recommend him. His assistant Alvin has responded promptly to my inquiries and he does so with a caring and delightful manner.

One of the best experiences I've had at a medical facility.
I was unexpectedly able to get in the same day and the
entire staff was quick and professional. Dr Meghpare is
very personable and professional with a great bedside manner.
He explained everything and answered all questions
presented.
