Not only my doctor but my friend

I remember when I met Dr. DiPietro almost 30 years ago, He became my doctor as my old doctors were retiring. He helped me with a lot of issues in my life.
He has mentored me into being a more health person than I was thirty years ago. And I have had many a candid conversation with him. I have told him he has to stay my doctor until I turn seventy years old, so at least for the next twelve years he will have to work.
