I enjoy my doctor and how she takes the time to speak with me and explain everything. She is never in a hurry to get to the next patient.

They were on time and that's important to me.

She had her eyes closed almost the entire time she was speaking to me. She talked a lot, which was fine, but just found it odd that she only looked directly at me with her eyes open once. If her eyes weren’t closed then she was either looking to my left or above my head. Never had a Dr do that before.

Attentive, personal and interactive care. She "listened" to my thoughts concerns and questions - thoughtful dialogue.

Answered my questions

OB Care

Dr. Pak’s tone in response to my questions during a routine OB follow up visit was dismissive and annoyed. She didn’t give me a clear answer regarding a certain vaccination and she overall expressed a look of annoyance when addressing any questions I had. This is my third pregnancy so most of the questions I had were legitimate as I’ve experienced the aches and pains of pregnancies before. She spent a total of 9 minutes with me and the entire time I felt she was ready to leave the room before I could finish asking my questions. I’m hoping she had an off day because I’ve seen her before and didn’t feel this way, but she was very rude and I do not care to see her again.

Friendly front desk staff. Seen in a timely fashion. Excellent physician

Gynecological Problem Visit

My usual doctor was out of the office the day I needed to be seen so I saw Dr Pak for the first time. I went in for a chronic issue I’ve been dealing with off and on for 20 years. I have a lengthy history in my chart not to mention I know my own body and symptoms. Dr Pak’s beside manner was abrupt and cold. I felt rushed and not taken seriously. She asked me questions that could have been easily answered by just looking at my chart. When I told her how my condition had been treated the last time I was seen, she gave me a weird face and didn’t believe me. That’s the only reason she looked at my chart and once she saw that the treatment I had described was exactly correct, she seemed annoyed. I left feeling not taken seriously and bad. The other doctors I have seen at Centre have been caring, empathetic and truly listen and value the knowledge you have of your own body. I felt like I was talked at and she came across arrogant. I will request a different doctor next time.

Pap Smear

All nurses that I've encountered, and Dr. Pak, have been very kind and friendly. I feel comfortable when there. Dr. Pak also takes her time to talk to me about my concerns. I don't feel rushed. I appreciate that.

Obstetrical (Pregnancy) Ultrasound / Sonogram

I feel like a number, like the clock starts ticking the moment the provider walks in the door. It’s very no nonsense. Rushed. Impersonal. The front desk staff is fantastic. Engaging. Helpful.
