Like many, I researched what to expect from a "full body" skin exam. What I received was a cursory, hurried look that was less than what I could do in my own mirror. I was told to leave my board shorts on, so the skin from my waist to my knees was not examined. Although I had removed my shoes and socks my feet were ignored. Bob Marley died from an undiagnosed melanoma between his toes. I will never retutn to AMARA.

Great staff in a super clean atmosphere. Actually took me 7 minutes before my show up time which was out of the normal compared to other doctors visits I have been to. The doctor was very polite, listened to what I had to say then explained my options clearly as could be.

Dr Fezza was pleasant and up front with his recommendation ations, which was appreciated. His assistant, Ashley, however, was not. I am also a health care practitioner. If my nurses or MAs ever offered the information to my patients that this lady offered to me, they would be given direction, and if continued, would be terminated. She voiced her “medical opinion” and offered medical and surgical advice for which she is not licensed. That is not in her scope of practice since she is not a PA, NP or type of physician. This practice needs to clean up that activity. Having an assistant offering

Nursing staff was great. Very thorough in explaining everything. Did not see doctor this visit. Only complaint was confirmation tells you to wait in car til they call you. They don’t call you. Reception seemed uninterested in correcting problem. Surely someone can correct this instruction!

I was very pleased with the professionalism and the personal attention I received. I was very happy with Dr. Fezza, he responded to my request for a natural improvement for a healthy, youthful update for my face. I was very happy with his suggestions and did not feel hurried or rushed to make a decision. Cannot wait to schedule.

I was given a prompt appointment since my problem was of an emergent nature. The receptionist was wonderful, also providing information on additional things that I could do prior to my appointment. The office staff was cordial , professional and very with it observing all COVID 19 protocols. Dr Kosek( PA-C) was on time and did a thorough job with a follow up plan , should the antibiotics not work. The Amara facility is lovely, welcoming and very professional. I would recommend it without hesitation.
