DR. BRIAN CITRO AND HIS STAFF RULE! My husband and I moved to Summerlin, Nevada in April of this year - and I spent excessive amounts of time on the computer and phone searching for good doctors. Eight weeks to be exact. There were numerous inquiry calls made, messages left with no call-backs; rude receptionists; broken phone systems that automatically transferred me to various extensions leading somewhere beyond the galaxy; and an actual hang-up from a receptionist needing a pee break! I was becoming more and more anxious. For years, I had heard that a high percentage of Nevada doctors were rated very low on the medical scale, but was not prepared for it to be a reality after moving here. Anyway...on my umpteenth day of searching Yelp, RateMDs, Healthgrades and Zocdoc, etc., I finally found one of the best general surgeons! A cyst on my chest (aka: The Alien) was the culprit that led me to Dr. Citro. (I initially thought it could be taken care of by a dermatologist, but my Primary knew it was beyond that option, and a general surgeon was needed.) Dr. Citro was not only extremely professional, very good looking, and bakes a mean Vanilla Bean Cheesecake, he totally put me at ease with his knowledge and sense of humor. I especially appreciated his reassuring bedside manner, as I'm quite squeamish at the sight of a needle and scalpel - especially if I'm awake during a procedure. Except for the few little pricks of the numbing injection, there was nothing else to make me uneasy. Oh...did I mention he is Chief of Surgery at Mountain View Hospital? Thank you, Dr. Citro, for getting rid of The Alien - forever! Another extremely important bit of information: We have always believed that even an exceptional doctor is only as good as his office staff. Well, Dr. Citro's was wonderful, and I appreciate their kindness and professionalism! I'm sure that one of my old body parts will need Dr. Citro's service in the future - so he must NEVER retire.
