All of Dr. Anton's care was exceptional. He even came in before the venous ultra-sound exam was done to meet & greet me while reviewing my Allegheny Health Network (AHN) chart papers from PA. His bedside care manner was exceptional - he was very personable - during the entire exam, and patiently explained my symptoms & prognosis in a friendly manner. I've never had a specialist take so much time to review my case with me! He gave me his business card,and told me how to reach him in the future if I ever needed his medical advice/care in an emergency.
