Patient Comments
She's very good and explained lots of things. I do like her. She seems smart and kind.
Evaluation was less than 5 minutes. Provider after my visit was at her car before I was. Complete lack of any conversation. Answered not one question. Did not get a history of problem.
I M being very well taken care of, very caring doctor.
I actually saw the Dr. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Pazionis was good to me > she listened to what I had to say about my health & she provided me with useful information as to me going to another physical therapist since I had an extremely bad experience with the physical therapist at the Boyer Building on the 5th floor. I appreciate her.
