Dr Sassano is the only doctor my son has ever seen that gave him good feedback about staying healthy as an athlete, showered him where he was tight and needed to stretch more to ensure success and avoid injury. He took plenty of time to talk to him about the things that were bothering him and gave recommendations. Outstanding doctor!

Dr. Sassano has been our family doctor for many years. I recommend to him everyone I can. He is the best doctor I have ever been to. He not only has a "wonderful, friendly bedside manner" but he is very concerned with me a person as well as a patient. He is one of the Very few doctors that actually listens to you discusses the issue(s) comes up with a plan to help and explains in a way that is easy to understand.
