Dr Cassara is an exceptional Diabetic/Endocrinologist Physician who went out of her way to simplify a chart explaining an idea to allow me to make better choices regarding my insulin doses. Took away the more complex chart I had to use. She is the BEST

She is a hoot. I’ve never had a doctor as easygoing and happy as she is. She also worked hard to get my medication adjusted properly. No other doctor had been able to do that.
