After 6 weeks & 2 previous visits to my family Dr, I got so sick, that yesterday a visit to Pinnacle Urgent Care was my last option. Dr Pesavento wasted no time in diagnosing pneumonia and in his words pulling out the big guns. Today I'm so grateful that I can breathe better than I have in weeks, still sick, but much better! In the future, I'll follow up with Dr. Pesavento!

Dr Pesavento was more inclined to indulge himself with sexual innuendo about my breast size than he was prepared to give my case proper attention.
