“Dr. Piro is simply amazing and has great bedside manner. My mother needed a transplant for a long time and finally received one in Florida, at Mayo, where the doctors were awesome. I was afraid that we won’t find a good doctor to help us here in Florida but Dr. Piro was our hope. He listened to all our concerns and his staff is very professional. Everyone feels treated like a star by him and I absolutely love that he doesn’t wear a white coat, I think that this reduces anxiety a lot. ”

“For me, he is a lifesaver. Even without seeing my chart, he figured out what my problem was and helped get into surgery in less than an hour. My pain was gone after the procedure. Before seeing Dr. Piro, I went to 3 other doctors who in spite of having my chart, didn’t know what to do to help me. I have recommended Dr. Piro multiple times and I will continue doing that, I really wish there were more doctors like him. ”
