“There were several doctors seeing patients in the office the day of my appointment I settled in my seat thinking it was going to be a long afternoon because it was so busy. Dr Colarusso’s assistant Brittany came to escort be back to the office almost at my exact appointment time. I was being seen for follow up on my lower back pain but I was experiencing another problem. I started not to share it with Dr Colarusso because the office was busy and I thought I might slow them down or they would rush me through an evaluation. I was in pain so I shared it with him. Doc took the time listened and prescribed and issued a wrist brace for my carpal tunnel pain. The brace really helped and I am able to sleep without pain in my hand and fingers. I was there for my back and he took care of that, what I REALLY appreciated was he didn’t make me set up a second appointment to address the pain in my hand.
