Dr. Christopher Da Fonseca was very knowledgeable and precise in all his explanations. He then advised me to make an appointment with a Neurologist a . Hematologist because he wants them to do an ultrasound of my right quadrant (to check my liver and he also ordered bloodwork! I give him. He truly listened to me and spoke to me softly. I was a bit nervous when the voice call came through. However, he spoke to me kindly and precisely and I lost my nervousness. My rate to him is 5 stars out of 5. (VeryGood).
