If it weren't for Dr. Aryal, I would have left Dignity/Mercy Midtown years ago. I came from…read moreWoodland Healthcare, leaving my primary care doctor of 20 years and the luxury of a small clinic (where you could injure your knee so badly you could barely walk and could see someone in orthopedics within a couple days, instead of the 6 weeks you have to wait at "Dignity"/ Mercy Midtown). But I digress...I was worried I wouldn't find a primary care doctor who I trusted as much as my former doctor. And then I met Dr. Aryal. I have never looked back. She is always responsive in addressing my health issues. When "Dignity" intercepts my email messages to her in the portal and tries to bury me in their bureaucracy, Dr. Aryal gets things back on track. She is an ethical physician who has treated me with the highest degree of care and compassion. My former doctor once walked out of our appointment when I showed up with a list of issues to address, but Dr. Aryal says "ok, so I will order blood work for this, prescribe this medication, and refer you to radiology. What else can I help you with?". She doesn't make me feel rushed, and she is an empathetic listener who asks questions. She is warm, genuine, kind, competent, and she knows how to navigate Mercy's ridiculous system. Dr. Aryal remembers to address me by the name I go by instead of my legal name (something that many doctors can't seem to do no matter how many times I ask them or how long [20 years] I've been their patient, which makes a good bedside manner seem impersonal). Addressing another user's post - I have several health issues including chronic pain. Dr. Aryal will suggest alternatives to drugs if she thinks the alternatives will be helpful to the patient, but she did not hesitate to prescribe me pain medication. Mercy Midtown also has a good pain management department Dr. Aryal referred me to. Additionally, Dignity called me to say "Dr. Aryal requires you to come in before she can refill your thyroid medication". When I told the caller that I had seen Dr. Aryal within the last two months and that I had recently had blood work to check my thyroid, I was told "Dr. Aryal says you need to come in." Dr. Aryal was upset when I told her this, saying that she had not said that, and that next time, I should email her and she will refill my prescription. That was the first of at least 4 falsehoods (that I'm aware of) that Dignity has told me over the phone - they try to make you comply with their policy and say it's something that your doctor said, when in fact, your doctor has no knowledge of it. This unethical practice is something that appalls Dr. Aryal and is greatly concerning to her. For this reason, I cannot imagine her lying about a patient, as the other reviewer stated, or exhibiting anything other than the highest ethical behavior.

Bad doctor. Doesn't do a thing. Not helpful. Dishonest. That about sums it up for my brief…read moreexperience with Dr. Aryal. She seemed nice at first. I presented with a long term injury and after telling me to do all the things I'd already done for the previous year, her answer was to rub almond oil on it. That was it. (Yes, I did try it. No, it didn't help.) It became clear she didn't actually believe I had an injury or any related pain at all. She would smile and nod and then just give me some advice that I'd already tried or tell me to get almond oil. As my issue got worse, I asked for some pain relief and she treated me like a pill popper (despite zero history). She witnessed by symptoms get worse (and in fact they were at their worst under her care) and seemed to just think I was lying to get drugs, so she didn't prescribe me anything except Advil. It was really traumatic and difficult to be navigating the system while being in constant, extreme pain, wanting to get healed, and to have to have a doctor be so dismissive and disrespectful. I left her practice and requested my records to transfer to a new doctor. I found that in my records she either lied or confused me with another patient because several of my chart notes were just wrong. She documented therapies she never gave me, and history that I did not present with. When I complained about this, she dismissed me from practice. So....didn't help me, treated me like a druggie, made my issue worse, and then kicked me out when I complained about the mistreatment. I don't recommend Dignity at all. Their management is not patient focused and encourages this type of behavior in their docs, with no oversight if a patient is harmed. But, if you get stuck going to Dignity, try another doctor.

Her need was to find a physician that would refer her to specialists when necessary, listen well and provide caring, common sense treatment without the usual," this happens with age" attitude or mentality. Comments: Dr Quinto's staff was extremely courteous, both in person and on the telephone. The appointment was made one week from the date I called. The office waiting room was full, staff was exceptionally pleasant. She was seen within 10 minutes of the scheduled appointment time.(mid morning appointment) My Wife is very critical of western medicine, very hard to please when it comes to physicians. This is an exact description of her comments after seeing Dr Quinto. He is a very pleasant man. He listens well and asks numerous questions, felt that a referral to the best endocrinologist in the area would be wise. The best part of this experience is my wife wants Dr Quinto to be her Primary Physician now and in the future. She was very impressed with his common sense, non intimidating, professional approach to medicine. I certainly recommend Dr Quinto as will my wife.
