Hear What Dr. Botta's Patients Have to Say About Her

• “Dr. Botta is fantastic. Always professional, friendly and listens.”
• “We love Dr. Botta! Wouldn’t go anywhere else.”
• “Dr. Botta and the entire staff at PHA are awesome!!!!  They are kind and caring and get stuff done!  I called and needed a prior auth and refill for my son who was away at college and it was done within 24 hours.  They are GREAT and every single time I call every person on the phone has been so friendly, professional and helpful."
• "I've been going to PHA since I was a child and now I take my 3 kids there.  We see Dr. Botta, who is amazing.  The kids feel comfortable enough to tell her random things and be silly.  She is intelligent, kind, understanding, yet firm.  The nurses, after only a visit or two, greet us with a smile that makes you feel like you're more than just another patient.  I would recommend this office 100%!!
