I would like to express my condolences to Dr. Basaraba's family.

I have been a patient of Dr. Basaraba's since early adult hood.

He has been my periodontist for over 35 years.

On many occaisions when he had a new hygenist he would tell them the story that I had grown up before his eyes. He was always gracious & friendly. Sincerely,R.Cusano
