Virtual Visit / Telemedicine

Dr. Pak is a wonderful doctor. I cannot express this enough. She takes the time to listen to me and actually cares. She doesn’t rush me to get to the next patient. Using the telehealth portal was super easy to get onto and didn’t have any issues.

Dr. Pak makes visits easy and genuinely shows an interest in her patients. I didn't feel rushed and she made it a lot less awkward than Obgyn visits usually are.

Follow-up Visit (Problem / Complication)

Following Pat Heasty's retirement, I began to see Dr. Pak and I find her approach to be impersonal, condescending and generally unhelpful. This visit, I was referred for an abnormal PAP follow up from my PCP, which was high anxiety due to my personal history. The visit started off with her questioning me as to why I was there at all - which landed squarely as a way to patient blame once she actually started discussing my care (Apparently, I was not due for a PAP, which is irrelevant because if I had been due and the results were the same, we would be having this same discussion. But this remained her focus for at least the first 5-10 minutes of the visit). She did not even attempt to answer any of my questions and instead continued to reiterate that she did not generate the statistics while she sat tucked away in the corner of the room, seemingly annoyed that I was even present. All of this and it ended up that I did not need any follow up care and if she had read my chart prior to the visit it easily could have been addressed over the phone. This was by far the most disappointing experience I have had at Centre, or with any physician, and I have been a patient for 23 years, including two pregnancies. I will not be returning as it is clear, by this visit as well as my two recent visits, that the practice is not focused or interested in care for women who are not of child-bearing age.
