The best! The office was clean, friendly and so quick. Dr. Pesce was so kind, listened to my issues, addressed them then set a clear course of action. I am so thankful as I have seen other drs who didn't know what to do for me. I feel excited about feeling better! So glad I found this dr and this office!

Incredibly friendly and warm staff. Jonathan was super efficient sending me the paperwork beforehand to bring. Dr. Pesce was so kind and wonderful and listened to me explain my symptoms with care. I am super afraid of ENTs because I have a severe gag reflex and Dr. Pesce was super accommodating and made me feel very much at ease. Highly recommend!

It was perfect. Dr Pesce was warm, relaxed, supportive, attentive, and skilled. If all visits to the Dr. or Dentist were like this, no one would have any issues going. I will be back as needs arise.

So far, so good. She seems on top of her game but we won't know for certain until she sorts out the diagnosis. She seems skilled and competent. She is pleasant and genuinely seems to be a nice person.

Doctor forgot to send in my perscription, and then forgot what it was in the first place. Didn't seem terribly helpful, especially since the waiting far outweighed the treatment time.
Very nice and caring doctor.

Verified patient
Dr. Pesce is great! She was gentle during my visit (I had inexplicable pain in both of my ears). She explained what the issue could be and what she was going to do on the spot to solve it. When I had experienced discomfort during the process she gave me an option that could be less painful. I felt that I was in good hands so we proceeded with the approach per her first recommendation. I left pain-free and highly recommend her.

Highly knowledgeable and professional. She cleared my ears to get a good look at the eardrums. She then performed a series of head maneuvers to help with "Benign Positional Vertigo" She fully explained what caused the vertigo and reassured me that it was a fairly common condition that should resolve in a few days/weeks. I was very pleased with her explanation.

Very positive experience with Dr. Pesce. She helped me tremendously and showed compassion and concern for my wellbeing. The only wish I have is for the office to share wifi with the patients.
