Dr Acosta is fantastic. He had a NP with him as she was learning about his office and how he did his visits with his patients. He is very knowledgeable, understanding, patient and compassionate about his patients. He takes time to listen to his patients and explains things that his patients can understand based on their experience and history. I would "HIGHLY" recommend him and his colleagues to EVERYONE !!!

Dr. Acosta saw me right away. He was welcoming, professional and completely prepared to answer all my questions, update my records, and assess my condition. He increased the dosage on one of my medications and added a new medication to help my kidneys function better since I take a lot of medication. Dr. Acosta and his staff are always courteous and professional.

EXCELLENT PROVIDER! Had seen me in the hospital following a near-fatal heart crisis in December -- he clearly remembered me, but was very gracious and kind that I didn't readily remember him. Recalled many more details of my lengthy heart history than I expected. Talked very openly with me about my current heart status and needs. Allowed time for me to ask a long list of questions, and answered In layman's terms that I could easily understand. Generously offered advice/direction about a secondary health Issue I was struggling-with. And overall, was just a VERY knowledgeable, warm, personable provider who quickly solidified my trust In his ability/desire to work WITH me (as a team) toward my best possible treatment outcome.
