Was pleasantly surprised to find Dr. Paparsenos to be interested in what my previous care had been.,to go over my history and prescribe my care going forward. He answered all my questions without rushing me through the appt. A very good experience.

Dr. Paparsenos is great! I feel like I can really trust him and be honest with any diabetes care struggles. He is very understanding and always looking for new ways to make managing diabetes easier and more convenient. I found myself stressing and canceling appointments with my previous doctor fear judgement and lectures. I am more motivated to get better control knowing that I have a doctor now that wants to work with me and suggest innovative solutions.

I saw a review from Renee that said Dr. Paparsenos brushed her off and only thought she wanted a pill. I have to COMPLETELY disagree. I've been seeing this doctor for a few months now and he's been the most helpful. I had surgery a year ago and after my surgery I started gaining weight consistently, periods were irregular. I went to my regular doctor and they took blood to see if it was my thyroid and said I was fine. I went to Dr. Paparsenos and he took bloodwork as well and determined that my doctor was incorrect. I was just beginning to show signs for hypothyroidism and my regular doctor wouldn't have caught it. If he hadn't diagnosed and started treating me when he did, i would have continued to gain consistent amounts of weight. I'm very happy with Dr. Paparsenos. I would recommend him to anyone.

Doctor is very knowledgeable and took his time to discuss with me my concerns. I liked that he comes to the lobby to greet the patients. I didn't have to wait in a room for a long time for him to see me.. like most doctors.

Dr. Paparsenos takes his time to talk to you about what is wrong. He really cares about finding out all the details of your symptoms. I never feel rushed. I know he is concerned for my health and wellbeing.
More than 1 year agoLori D.Verified patient
I am the type of person who never goes to the dr. I made this appointment because I knew something was wrong as I had significant weight gain (even though I had been on a stringent diet since January), lethargy, irregular periods and scalp rash. I explained all of this to Dr. Paparsenos. He assumed I was there for a PILL to fix my issues even though I had zero medications listed on my profile as I do not take medicine. He ordered bloodwork for a thyroid test which came back normal and a saliva test for Cushings which came back normal. Long story short, he brushed away my symptoms, only did the thyroid test because I suggested it may be the issue because both my parents suffer with thyroid issues.
Symptoms stil there, I went to another Dr. She performed a full battery of blood work two weeks ago. Come to find out that my DHEA levels are tripled what they should be. DHEA is produced by the adrenal glands. And two other levels (not sure of their name) were also irregular and they are produced by the pituitary. To wrap this up, I now have had to go back for a full blood panel including an autoimmune disease panel which consisted of 17 vials of blood taken. Also other tests to ensure I don't have an adrenal tumor
My point is, this doctor brushed me off. He seems very professional and nice but he needs to listen to his patients better and their symptoms and take a better approach.
I wasn't there for a "pill" to fix my issues but a reason that I wasn't feeling myself.
May 21, 2016Renee E.Verified patient
Staff/Nurse were efficient and friendly. The office is very modern looking and clean. The Dr was very knowledgable, took notes, and ask alot of questions. First the Doctor sat and talked about me and my issues (hypothyroid/PCOS), then he took me to a different room to examine me, and then to a different for a quick ultrasound of my thyroid. I will def be going back. Friendly and professional staff.

I really liked Dr. Paparensenos. He sat in his office with me and took the time to ask me all kinds of questions to help diagnosis me. He was very friendly and I would highly recommend him.
More than 1 year agoLori D.Verified patient
I just loved this physician!! He was so patient and professional and warm. He took me back to his office first and we discussed my diabetes and he listened to everything I had to say and was able to answer all my questions. He gave me things to read and we discussed new approaches to my chronic disease. Then he examined me and later walked me back to the receptionist. I felt so validated and was so excited to try new approaches to my diabetes. I have finally found my ideal endocrinologist in Bucks county!!!

Informative, relaxed and very productive. I left the office feeling I made the right decision seeking a second opinion. Most important I like Dr. P. He's very kind, explains what's needed for your particular thyroid illness and I truly felt comfortable with him and that's important.
