Dr. Pineda was able to give me a second opinion on two surgeries that another provider had recommended, and she explained to me when I would and when I would not need them, which was extremely beneficial to me. So I would say she was extraordinarily beneficial to see, even though it just is a consult.

I didn't like her bedside manner. I really didn't understand what she was telling me. She seemed upset because she thought I didn't hear her and she asked me to remove my AirPods. I did remove them and I still didn't understand what she was telling me. She was very short with her answers. I asked the nurse/assistant to explain it to me.

The provider seemed rushed and I didn't feel listened to. She talked about my injury a little and then she wrote up the orders for her recommendations. But she never actually asked if I agreed with her recommendations and/or wanted to do them. Or if I had any other thoughts on the injury. I actually had several concerns with the treatment plan but didn't get to state them except for when I proactively said no to one part of the plan. [redacted]

Thank you for your time. Dr. Pineda was very kind and straight to the point when trying to understand the severity of the weakness in my legs and scheduled an MRI. The results from the x-rays were notated well enough for me to understand why my feet swell so often. I look forward to my follow up appointments to address treatment plans for my shins and feet, and hope to receive a referral for my hips down to my knees.

The provider was an 1hr late and provided no updates as to their expected time to see me. I had to take off work which caused issues. They also did NOT introduce themselves when they came into the room. This was the first time I'd ever met them and I had no clue who was entering the room, whether it was the Dr., PA, or Nurse.

I'm nervous because I don't know what my appointment is for today. I think it's to clear me for surgery Wednesday, but that wasn't explained to me. The provider also shared that she prescribes very little pain medicine. Historically pain is under medicated in women. Without knowing how much I'll need it seemed like a weirdly premature conversation.

Very pleasant. She took time to examine my foot, explain the procedure and answer my questions. No list of what I needed from my primary provider. When I have had surgery before the surgeon ordered all labs etc to be done at their facility. My only complaint would be lack of information for patients as to what they need for postop at home to make it easier to manuever on one leg.

Hi, it was a great experience with this doctor and I believe with either a PA or the person who came in prior, they took a lot of information. I've been to a couple of different orthopedic podiatrist offices and this is the one that really gave me the information that I needed and took the time to explain things and really understand and provide me with a good solution going forward. And that just means everything and I will definitely be going back to this doctor and her team and also the facility, which was excellent.
