The Total Package

Dr. Rosemary Bontempi has only been my primary care physician for a few years, but during that time she has proven herself to be all that I looked for in a doctor. From our initial meeting she has confidently established a collaborative professional relationship with me. She listens as well as informs, she seeks input from me to guide her medical actions, and she uses her understandings of who I am as an engaged patient to proceed with best care for me. I have relied upon her for answers to medical questions without fear of judgement, and with the assurance that her responses will always be informed and well articulated. Her personal style has always put me at ease and encouraged me to honestly forthcoming with information about my health. She balances well the need to project self-assuredness, while also admitting to not having all the answers. I am saddened for myself that she is retiring, but so very happy that she is successfully closing this chapter of her life and will have time to spend with her family. For anyone replacing her, Rosemary Bontempi is a hard act to follow.
