    Dr P is amazing. I wish all the MDs I see for care were just like her. I feel we are working TOGETHER to resolve my issues, NOT here just talking to me telling me what to do.

    Dr. Pesantez Pacheco made it clear that she was with me to make an ideal treatment plan that would work for me and my husband. She repeated instructions as needed, but didn't talk down to me if my grasping wasn't ideal.
