Because I don't believe that one failed drug test because of a toothache should get you kicked out of your addiction treatment. If it wasn't for this I would rate her five stars all day every rating Dr website around.

Looking for new doctor could be very difficult especially when you're accustomed to seeing your doctor for so many years. My husband was stressing having to see a new doctor after his stopped practicing due to personal reasons. Yet, he stated DR. Papa was pleasant, a great listener and took her time listening and responding to his concerns. It's hard to find such a great doctor with this qualities who doesn't just treat you like a number. I will be seeing her also and will post my review.
