5 Star Patient Rating

star review

Dr. Addona is very sweet and patient along with his staff. He always makes me feel comfortable no matter what procedure I am having. I went to another surgeon previously who botched me, but Dr. Addona worked his magic and fixed the mistakes! I couldn’t be happier.
