I've been a patient of Dr. Paraskos for a little over a year and after a lot of research for a Diabetes doctor near me, I am very glad to have found her. Dr. Paraskos is a very patient doctor who listens to what you have to say. She doesn't judge or talk down to you, but looks at varies ways to assist with your needs.

Fantastic! My original Endocrinologist left the Miami area over three years ago and it took me many visits to many other Endocrinologists until I found Dr. P. She has an amazing personality and is a highly skilled doctor. I cannot see myself having to look for anyone else.
