- September 16, 2022 This time!!! as usual??? But not last time!!!I I felt my doctor had my best interest at heart. But not at Aug. 22 appointment. On that date, I felt my doctor put more belief and value in lies that had been reported falsely by questionable reporter and facts reported by questionable staff at nursing facility at which I reside. I felt my doctor had more respect for me, his long-time patient, than had been conveyed in August visit. I gave much thought to moving my care to any physician other than Brookview Hills Internal Medicine! At MY request, My legally appointed Medical Power of Attorney sat in on last appointments and always will be in exam room with me. WE BOTH WERE Negatively AMAZED AT Valante on August 22, 2022! He redeemed himself to us both, however, on September 13, 2022!!

It is done with genuine care and concern for the reason for the visit, and with input and consideration for the what I, the patient, can and will follow through with. They wrangle with my insurance issues timely and professionally as well, and all of their efforts behind the scenes are very much appreciated.
- August 23, 2022 Dr. Valente Is very compassionate and through. Glad he is my Dr.
- August 23, 2022 My only complaint is that if you don??t have a well visit scheduled Lou is always booked several weeks out. Schedule needs to leave room for sick visits.
