Okay, so IDK where to start or how to even tell Dr. Paternina and team of how incredibly grateful I am but, I couldn't be happier with my ENTIRE patient experience. First off, my life is insanely busy as I am relocating soon for a new career opportunity, and I had this nasty plantar's wart on my right foot near my pinky toe. I have literally been in pain for about 3 months, and I needed something... ANYTHING, I was gonna cut it out myself. Of course, due to COVID-19, nothing has been open, and what has..... Just didn't get the best patient reviews. Finally, I went to see Dr. Paternina, and the receptionist was INCREDIBLE, she immediately explained my coverage, and what I needed to pay. No problem. Then I was taken in to get a quick initial evaluation from Dr. Paternina's medical assistant, I totally forgot his name, BUT he was AWESOME. He told me not to worry, also we are both Sagittarians, and we got to know each other on a really personal level. He was incredibly pleasant. Now, Dr. Paternina finally comes in, she couldn't have been more professional, knowledgable, and personable. She explained everything to me, and basically gave me the options. Selfishly, I did tell her I needed something extreme done, as I am moving out of state next week, and I have been dealing with horrific pain from this Plantar's Wart for months..... Dr. Paternina did just that. We performed an in-house procedure and essentially cut it out. Now, the numbing injection hurt like HELL, BUT Dr. Paternina has an amazing hand, and awesome bedside manner, which made not only the pain worth it; but the procedure was a BREEZE after, I didn't feel a thing. Furthermore, Dr. Paternina took her time, explained everything as she went along, and gave me the full lowdown on after care. Also, Dr. Paternina and team go a step further by sending the wart out to the lab for some general testing, and I have a telemedicine conference with her to go over the general results and healing process of the procedure. This was the BEST experience I have EVER had in a specialist's office. I have many colleagues who are NPs, RNs, and MDs and this was by far the highlight of any appointment I've had in the last 8 years or so. Thank you Dr. Paternina and team. The care you guys gave me was awesome, worth every single penny spent, and I look forward to my telemedicine follow up! Cheers, Irv. read more
