Dr. Paredez was highly recommended to me by a friend familiar with the medical community in this area. I am a medical professional myself and new to the area. I am giving this center 5 stars for the following reasons; 1. Experience: Dr Paredez and his staff are knowledgeable and display acuity in creating an individualized plan for patients; Misha is a fully trained physician of anesthesia and solely devoted to one patient at a time, ensuring safety and minimal risk; 2. Cleanliness: Crisp and clean; well maintained center and corners to keep it this way do not seem to be cut; 2. Confidentiality: the center is small and run by the physicians vested; from the moment of arrival one is met with only a few people in the waiting area giving the feel of exclusive privacy; 3. Communication; all information needed to ensure a successful procedure is streamlined, and well communicated with handouts and follow up; the physician makes a visit to the patient during recovery; 4. Timeliness: SPOT ON!; 5. Comfort;: staff is friendly, confident, and skilled (IV attempt; first time), belongings kept with you entire time. Thank you Dr. Paredez, Cassandra, Christy, Sean, and darn it, I forgot the recovery nurses name ( unfairly, this happens ALL the time, but that is the real and final “Angel” sending the patient home, alive and well).
It actually was an excellent experience. They are friendly, very responsive, answer all of your questions, call you back, and the team of doctors and nurses are awesome. Highly recommend!
Iike everyone, I don’t look forward to getting the procedure, but the staff and Dr. Paredez are professional and respectful and make it as comfortable as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Paredez and his staff. MJE
