He was very thoughtful and kind, so thoughtful he referred me to some Speacialist that will give me an ekg and other tests to double check to see if these odd symptoms that I've gone through could be heart or brain related.

I'd previously been a patient of Dr. Datillo from about 2021-2022. I'd returned due to concern about my condition returning. He has a great bedside manner and is always clear in listening and explaining. I find him to be very thoughtful and thorough when it comes to discussing any updates/results, and answering my questions.

Dr. Datillo is a great physician. I had limited time with him on this particular visit, but previous ones were very good. I could see that he was busy helping others that needed him most likely more than I did that day. Yet still, his attention and concern for me was top notch. I have been lucky to be his patient.

Dr. Dattilo is nothing less than what I expect of a physician whose care I am in. The expectations I have when you think of how you'd want your own family member to be treated. He's spectacular!!! Thank you Dr.!!!
