June 27, 2014Marisol M.Verified patient
She was amazing. It's very rare that I go to a doctor and feel they truly are invested and care about me. She went into such detail and gave me many options of treatment and was so sweet. I felt so at ease and I can't wait to go back to her many, many times. I am actually going to get my husband to start going there as well!
More than 1 year agoKathryn S.Verified patient
Very down to earth and friendly doctor, she jokes around which makes you feel comfortable. You almost forget she's treating you, then she says some medical terminology and you think to yourself, I have the coolest doctor.
More than 1 year agoKatherine T.Verified patient
I always enjoy my visits with Dr. Pena, she is very knowledgeable, and helpful. I've had a doctor patient relationship with her for almost 4 years. I wouldn't change her for the world!
June 30, 2014Taisha L.Verified patient
Yomaris Peña is very good useful and helped me a lot. The customer service is pretty good just a little slow. The only problem I have with yomaris is that she makes appointments with her patients from 10 am when she arrives the office after 12. I usually have to wait until after 12 to see her when I make my appointments by 10 am automatically thinking that she would be in the office already.

August 12, 2014Kyle G.Verified patient
For a first visit i was treated so much better than all my visits with my previous doctor. Dr. Peña makes you feel comfortable and and looks out for your best medical interest. It's like talking to one of my college peers, she listens accordingly and is sweet. The staff were respectful and courteous, clean clinic and well groomed..im really glad I switched to this doctor =D

HIGHLY recommend!! My mom couldn't stop raving about her experience with Dr. Peña. She described her as very warm, charming and super attentive to her needs and questions. The secretary I spoke to over the phone was an absolute sweetheart as well. I explained that my mom was going for the first time but that I wouldn't be able to accompany her and she told me they'd take good care of her there, and now I'm certain that will be true. From my own experience, there are few places in Wash Heights where you can find a quality doctor that you don't have to wait several hours to see. This is one of them! I know my mom will continue seeing Dr. Peña in the future. :D
