We were very impressed with our care provider. She engaged with us and asked relevant questions. She actively listened and was respectful of our perspective. She did a great job explaining things and making sure we understood what was happening and what our next steps would probably be.

Front desk workers were wonderful! MA was kind and understanding. Doctor listened to concerns and patiently tried to explain. Am very pleased and impressed that we were given a diagnosis and new treatment to try. Scheduling personnel was great. Only problem was that it took over 2 months to get an appointment, and my daughter was suffering with painful GI problems while we waited.

Dr. Pashordy was the first doctor we have ever seen about my son's weight that really looked deeper in his blood test results and truly listened. She was phenomenal. I would highly recommend her.
