Tips From Dr. Fiorello...

  • Make sure your car has good air conditioning and the freon is filled up before getting here
  • Buy a really good set of sunglasses
  • Buy several sets of shorts and comfortable sandals
  • Rent or buy a house with air conditioning - not just an evaporative cooler
  • Find out which parts of town the residents typically live in. Every year or so someone moves into a part of town that is really questionable
