Dr. Paonessa was excellent. He asked questions, diagnosed my problem quickly and gave me excellent instructions on how to take care of it. At the end of the visit, he gave me the opportunity to ask further questions. He washed his hands before examining me.

This man is easy to talk to and seems to genuinely care about his patients. I don't think you can really ask for more in a family doctor.

Worst Doctor I have ever been to. He made my condition worse. I may now have long term side effects because of his treatment. He may seem very nice at first, but you will find out that he is very unintelligent. When questioning his diagnosis he gets very defensive. This is probably due to his inexperience. I would advise all to stay away from this hack who went to some no name university in the Caribbean . If I could give 0 stars I would!

One of the most caring doctors that I have seen. Spent lots of time discussing what was going on with my daughter. He comforted her and actually seem to care about what was going on. Top notch doctor.
