"We were nervous switching providers since Dr. Greene moved on to Duke but Dr. Abel and his PA were wonderful! Dr. Abel got down to our daughter's level to talk to her, was straight to the point, caring, and informative."

— UPMC Provider Profile (Dr. Taylor Abel)

"De. Piazza and his PA were amazing and very informative, explained my daughter's condition extremely well to us and answered all of our questions."

— UPMC Provider Profile (Dr. Martin Gerard Piazza)

"Dr. Piazza seemed sympathetic, but other than glancing at my daughter's MRI, he did not give us any new information, no options, and a thorough exam was never completed. We drove over 3 hours to attend this appointment and left very disappointed."
