Dr. Cesa was very thorough in trying to determine what is going on with my daughter. We still have more tests as well he referred my daughter to an ENT. We feel confident that he will resolve my daughter's issue. He as well gave her options for her times of discomfort until all tests are complete and giving the prescription time to work.

Our visit could not have been better! Our doctor spoke directly with my 16 year old son and made him feel at ease. His questions and conversation were professional and he was easy to interact with. He was very clear and kind when giving his diagnosis and was patient and understanding with our questions. My 16 year old son said he couldn't have wished for a better doctor. We are so grateful for his care and kindness!
