  15. Dr. Skirraia is there over the examination. He takes the time to explain everything to me, which I really appreciate. I just really couldn't be happier with a primary doctor. I guess that's all I've got to say. He's just a really good doctor, excellent bedside manner. He's had problems that can't come up, and he knew exactly what to do with them, which I certainly appreciate. I guess that's about what I can tell you about him.

  24. Dr. Joe Skariah was very informative, kept me in the loop of what was happening (which helped me stay calm), had a pleasant demeanor, and checked in on me no less than once an hour. Dr. SKariah kept me informed of who needed to see me, when it would happen, and made sure I understood the information I had been given. My wife and I were very comfortable sharing information with him. He was calm, informative, and a very good listener. We appreciate the help we received on our visit to the hospital. It made a worrisome moment in our lives easier to work through. Thank you, Joe Skariah and crew.
