Dr. Pestotnik was exceptional. I've never had a PCP take a look at my total overall health condition, understand all of the issues and how they might be connected and most importantly take the time to sit down and explain everything in detail while also listening to my concerns and come up with a smart plan of action. In addition unlike so many other experiences, I never felt rushed or that the Dr. Pestotnik had to leave to see another patient. This was the best Dr./Patient experience I ever had and I left the clinic feeling like for the first time I truly have an amazing health care professional in my corner advocating for me.

Poor communication between the provider and myself. It took five days to get an answer that he could do not help me. No further discussion of my situation after my virtual visit. This is unacceptable patient care.

I appreciated the time he took to explain things but much of it was in terminology that had no meaning to us. He had an intern with him which may have influenced this. There were a number of times that my mother or I tried to say something and he talked over us. Our first visit with this doctor had been very positive but I did not have as good of a feeling this time.
