Dr. Peter P. Colosimo

Since his retirement in January 2018, Dr. Peter P. Colosimo has discovered he loves it! He truly misses his patients and employees, they were like family, but he knows they are in the best hands with his son Dr. Peter J. This is something that fills him with both confidence and pride. Dr. Colosimo has kept himself busy with babysitting his grandchildren and working on his home and yard. He spends as much time as possible at the lake fishing and has taken quite a few trips including Door County, Florida, South Carolina, Texas, and Arizona.
