Dr P was great. He goes to several of the Southeast offices in the area from the UF North building to St. Augustine. Definitely see him if you need a chiropractor. I’ve been to many chiropractors being an RN for the past 25 years. It’s wonderful that Southeast Orthopedics has realized the importance of chiropractic care and brought him onboard their team.

Quite exceptional. My lower back has been in moderate to extreme pain throughout the week. I finally got an appointment on Friday afternoon after work. I’m finally at home resting and feeling fantastic. I’m a middle-aged former amateur power lifter and have the injuries that go along with it. He is a master of his craft, no doubt.

Starting seeing Dr Passeggiata last November after a car accident, couldn’t ask for a better team to handle all of my care. He was able to observe some issues that the er couldn’t and referred me to a neurologist. Great patient relations, very precise, and you feel like a new person after being adjusted. Highly recommend!!rater8 Verified Patient

Hands down the best doctor I've seen for any medical issue. He cares about his patients and treats them as real people with real issues. He is attentive and adjusts to your needs. He isnt pushy nor does he recommend unnecessary procedures. My husband and I both now go to Dr. Passeggiata with nothing but high praise! Wishing even doctor treated patients the way he did.
