From the front desk, to the nurse, and the doctor- I felt nothing but welcomed. The staff was very kind and detailed. The provider took his time to explain things and give me a game plan on my course of treatment. I've had horrible experiences recently with other doctors at other practices- and coming to Wellstar was like a breath of fresh air that I needed. I cannot wait to come back. I like what I see at Wellstar so far. Thank you for making me feel like you truly care about me and my health. I was very happy with my visit today.

Dr. D'amato is not only a world class surgeon, but excellent communicator. The manner in which he has explained (very complex) things to my wife and I has been so appreciated. Can't say enough great things about him.

I felt heard and understood by Dr. D'Amato. He never rushed me to finish speaking, cut me off, or made me feel dumb for the things I had to say. He explained everything on a level that I could understand, and that was extremely refreshing as medical terms can be overwhelming and scary at times. I am thankful to have found him as a provider and have already referred to friends who also have IIH to him.
