"Dr. Nella Shapiro is an outstanding physician as well as a compassionate , kind , sweet and caring human being. She is meticulously thorough , knowledgeable, and attentive to ALL pertinent details. No cancer could escape her hands ‘ eyes’ or keen attention’s discovery. I am one of the countless patients who just plain LOVE her. ( I bet she could find an ANT hiding in a rock pile!)

My husband ( now sadly deceased) and I have had the UTMOST confidence in Dr. Fabio Volterra for years. I add this to my long list of messages of praise for this truly WONDERFUL doctor and human being. For him, being a doctor is a CALLING as well as a profession. He is highly respected and well loved by countless people,
fellow professionals as well as patients. He continues to bless my life with his excellent care.
Even when he had to guide my husband and me
through my husband’s unavoidable terminal cancer, we both felt that our appointments with Dr. Volterra were visits with a friend as well as our trusted and wise doctor. With Dr . Volterra’s help, we were satisfied that we had fought it as long as we could
Now I have a blood disorder which Dr. Volterra continues to monitor actively.
His kindness and encyclopedic knowledge and experience, his obvious caring undoubtedly evoke the best possible biological responses. TRUST is a magic word which can enlist positive physical factors."
