I loved the experience. Everything great!
July 10, 2024Albelis R.Verified patient
I never give reviews, but feel compelled bc of the overwhelmingly positive experience I had with Dr. P. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, took my concerns seriously, and her responses to each of my questions/concerns demonstrated her experience. I appreciated that she wasn’t hell bent on selling/up charging me on unnecessary services (as I’ve experienced this with prior physicians) and was considerate of the fact that I preferred to confirm whether my insurance covered certain services (like bloodwork) before proceeding with testing. I chose Dr. P to begin with bc some of the reviews on zocdoc for doctors would be extremely positive, but Google reviews were the complete opposite. For Dr. P, I couldn’t find any reviews, but assumed that ppl that have negative experiences typically go out of their way to warn others. Turns out I was right. 10/10 highly recommend!
