    Everything with Dr. Fabrizio was very good. He did a great job in asking me questions , letting me ask him questions. He kept looking deeper into my records , history, to give me his opinion and options and laying out a path forward for treatment the next four months when he wants to see me again. I valued that very much. Great doctor.
