“Dr. LoSasso and his team were excellent! From scheduling, to financial, to the actual surgery. We came from out of state to correct my son's Pectus, and they were very accommodating with getting things done quickly so we could be home in time for Christmas. The surgery went smoothly, and we have not encountered any issues. Dr. LoSasso and Allison were very thorough and took the time to answer all our questions. Thank you for everything!”
