  • "I really like Dr. Caracitas. She spends time with you and explains things. The office staff is very nice as well. I was called with my lab results which is really good, it was the day after I had my lab work done., that was quick! The only discrepancy I had is one of the girls mentioned to me to take a vitamin I didn't need. Glad I mentioned it to the Dr., and it was straightened out. Over all the Dr. and office are a great team."
