Dr. Amato was able to help me with my leg cramping problem. Our follow ups are useful. My questions are answered, and my input is heard. When I first saw Dr. Amato several years ago, I was at a point of desperation because of my uncontrollable leg cramping. What he prescribed has worked in controlling my symptoms. Now we are discussing whether my recent spinal surgery and other improvements could lead to me lowering my dose of the prescribed meds. Dr. Amato devised a schedule for me to begin that process. I I'm very grateful to have access to such a high level of healthcare.

Dr. Amato is A-1 in my book. In the time I've been seeing him, which dates back to last fall, he's been very straightforward about my condition. He's also been very responsive to my questions posed through the 'portal'.
