OB Care

I enjoy seeing Dr. Pak every time I see her. She gives me sense of comfort when I speak to her and she is always very personable with me. I never feel rushed with her, she answers every question I have in detail and I leave knowing that every concern I have is answered. Others may find her approach different but her approach works with me.

Endometrial Biopsy

I saw Dr Pak because Dr Vera was on maternity leave. I really like Dr Vera so wasn’t thrilled about seeing another Dr I didn’t know with the apt. My ultrasound tech was Amazing and Dr Pak was exceptional. She was very thorough and when I asked questions, she was sweet and explained everything and made sure I didn’t have any other questions.

Dr Pak was great as usual but my mammogram was painful. Last year it was painful too but I didn’t say anything but this time both of my breast was pressed so hard I almost cried. I know mammograms are not comfortable and I’ve had do many done but techinician is not that gentle. I think I’m going somewhere else next year.

Annual Well Woman Exam

I have been a patient of this practice for many years. I had 4 kids with the practice. I unfortunately had a terrible experience. I felt like I wasn't allowed to ask questions and any answers that were provided were highly unclear. I was very frustrated when I felt like I was being pressured to give a diagnosis or recommend next steps. I am not an MD so I don't know why I was being asked for a medical opinion on something I know nothing about. The doctor left the room when I had questions left and said she would be back. When she came back she opened the door, didn't come into the room handed me a paper and made it obvious I needed to go. I was humiliated when the doctor shared details of a test I was having done in the hallway.

Office Visit / Follow-up

Dr. Pak was very brief in her assessment and did not ask more than 2 questions about my issue. She did not listen to my concerns or address them. She quickly decided a treatment plan that was not reviewed with me.

Post-Partum Appointment

Dr. Pak was diligent in listening to my concerns. She talked through options and we discussed the best choice out of those options. She ensured I had all the information to make the best decision for myself and that my concerns were heard and addressed.

Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

Excellent care, great communication, overall sense of compassion for patient
