Dr. Petrella produces and performs in his own show every week. The program is very popular with his patients and with people who enjoy his singing. His dream is to perform in Las Vegas. His favorite songs are love songs, and he has a compact disk of love songs that he wrote. Dr. Petrella says,“I always loved to sing. All my problems are gone when I sing.” But when Dr. Petrella was young, his father didn't want him to be a singer. So he went to medical school.
Some people tell Dr. Petrella he can help people more as a doctor. But Dr. Petrella says he helps people when he sings, too.“I like to make people smile.
