I always thought that one of the things you sacrifice with city living is receiving personal care…read morefrom your primary physician. For the past few year I'd been going to the Jefferson Community Medicine Center whenever I needed a prescription or wasn't feeling well, never seeing the same person twice and usually even the follow up appointments were with someone new. Long story short, my father had received atrocious and frankly shameful treatment from Jefferson that would eventually lead to his untimely passing away and although it was in a different department I really just wanted nothing to do with Jeff ever again. I figured instead of looking on my insurance website for a PCP why not try Yelp since I use it for everything else which led me to Triangle Medical and Dr. Watkins. From the jump I could tell Dr. Watkins was different, he took the time to listen to me, ask me questions, and actually took my concerns into consideration. I've been seeing him for almost a year and we have uncovered several health issues that could greatly affect me down the road and have actively made a plan to get them taken care of. Having complete faith in a physician was something I never thought I'd feel after what happened to my father but the level of comfort and confidence I have with Dr. Watkins really gives me a feeling of security. The Triangle Medical office is on 10th St. right by Cheu Noodle Bar (which is also a huge bonus if your hungry post appointment). The waiting room is small but comfortable and I've always been able to get an appointment within a couple days of calling which is nice. Yesterday I was on the phone with my insurance company and they were trying to figure out the medical code for a CAT scan I needed so they called the office. When the lady came back on with me she said she was shocked she was actually able to speak with Dr. Watkins and that he was the nicest doctor she'd ever spoken with. I'm straight and before I came here someone at my gym said they thought Triangle was geared more towards the LGBT community. To my knowledge despite a heightened sense of style and killer dance moves, gay and straight men are genetically the same, get sick, and require the care of a compitent physician. I've referred my gay friends here just a much as my straight friends. I really feel fortunate I found Dr. Watkins and am grateful for the part he's playing in my well-being.

He has squeezed me in at the very last minute, and STILL didn't rush me out without making sure that we covered everything. I have 100% confidence in his technical and medical knowledge, and I actually like the fact that he often has medical students in the office seeing patients...this speaks to the trust that the local med schools have in his abilities, and I also feel that someone who teaches is, at the same time, constantly learning. Whenever I've needed blood work, he doesn't send me to a lab...he takes the blood right then and there (which is good because, in the past, doctors have given me scripts for blood work, but I'd never go). In the past, I've had to go back twice in one week and he made sure that I wasn't charged for the follow up visit....maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think every doctor would be so considerate. In a nutshell, I've been so happy with Dr. Watkins that I felt compelled to write a review here on Yelp! People DESERVE to have a doctor like Mark and in return, he deserves the business.

It's been a couple years since my review, so I thought I'd reiterate how much I love this Dr.'s…read moreoffice. It's still an office owned by Dr. Pedano (and I have still not ever seen or met her). I see a combination of Melanie Santiago, Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Lisa Silvotti and Dr. Diana Rocks, depending on what my issue is and who is available soonest. Melanie and Dr. Silvotti are still amazing, but Dr. Rocks is a fantastic addition to the staff. She is meticulous and careful-- checking things just to be sure, following up just to make sure you are really ok. As an example, I was recently in a pretty bad car accident wherein I probably should have died, but I walked away basically unscathed. I still had a headache and was very sore after a few days, so i went to see Dr. Rocks. She immediately forced me to go to the hospital to get my head and neck checked (did you know you can walk around with some kinds of broken necks? that with the right kind you could be fine and then get nudged by someone or stumble and die?!?!? Neither did I). The secretaries here are also awesome. They are friendly and remember you. They call when they say they will and they always give your messages to the doctors. I have rarely had to wait more than a few days for an appointment, and never more than the next day when i was very ill. I rarely spend more than 10 minutes in the waiting room (and usually only 5 or so). Which reminds me that they recently renovated the front of the office and the waiting room and check-in window are much more spacious and comfortable! As an aside that may not be relevant to most-- i work for the city, and we have byzantine regulations about using sick time-- Dr Pedano's office makes getting paid and certified sick time easy. I was very fortunate to find this office, and count my blessings that they take such great care of me!

I initially went to him thinking it would be short term and 5 years later I would never consider anyone else.

In the…read morepast 5 years, I've dealt with debilitating chronic pain for which I was never prescribed pain medication. I was never told there were pain management doctors who actually wanted to help me. My serious, chronic pain was ignored and minimized. Recently I was having life-disrupting perimenopause symptoms, and I agonized to Dr Kirschner over not sleeping, sweating through my clothes several times a night, and worsening mental health. I was ignored and not given a single piece of advice about how to get help. I had asked to go on hormone replacement therapy and I was denied. At my 1st appointment with my female rheumatologist she diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. WHY WAS DR KIRSCHNER SO INEPT THAT HE MISSED THIS CRITICAL, LIFE CHANGING DIAGNOSIS? WHY DID HE IGNORE MY 5+ YEARS OF AGONY, SUFFERING WITH NO PAIN MANAGEMENT? There is no excuse for this serious, purposeful lack of care. ZERO concern was shown for my pain. I hope this doctor suffers in pain for years, ignored, like I did.

I've been coming to Penn Center for Primary Care for many years, and overall I've had a very…read morepositive experience. Since it's a teaching practice, your primary care doctor may change once they complete their residency. However, the office does a good job of notifying you when your doctor is moving on and helping you transition to someone new. While I've had several different physicians over the years, I really don't have any major complaints. One of the biggest advantages is that all of your medical records stay within the practice. Each new doctor has access to your history before your appointment, so you don't have to start completely from scratch every time. Even though every provider has a different approach, I've found that most of the doctors I've seen take the time to listen, hear my concerns, and work with me to come up with a plan that fits my needs. That has made a big difference in my experience. Getting a routine appointment can sometimes take a little while, but if you're sick and call the nurse triage line, they're usually able to rearrange the schedule and get you seen much sooner. Check-in is also quick and easy. Parking is probably the biggest downside. They have a newer parking garage, but it's a bit of a walk to the office, which can be challenging if you have mobility issues. There isn't much handicap parking directly in front of the building most of it is around the corner. While I understand those spaces would likely fill up quickly, having a few closer to the entrance would be helpful. Ongoing construction in the area can also make getting there a little more difficult, although there is metered street parking if you're lucky enough to find a spot. Overall, the staff and providers have treated me well over the years, and despite the occasional parking and scheduling challenges, I'll continue coming here. It's a practice I feel comfortable recommending.

Most recently I found a doctor's office that was adequate with a friendly doctor but then our insurance changed and no longer worked with that doctor. (Of course.) So, I decided to try the same practice as my wife. I was not disappointed. I saw Dr. Mark Graham who heads the practice and he was great. Really friendly, listens to you, explains everything to you. Gave a lot of general counseling for a person my age. Very easy and approachable. Absolutely what I want in a doctor. I also received the same friendly and thorough treatment from the staff. They make sure to give you copies of all medical forms for your records without having to ask, etc. If they continue to take new patients I would absolutely recommend this office for anyone looking for primary care/internal medicine doctor's in South Philly.
