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

Gynecological Exams

Dr. Pak is warm, but efficient and to the point, which I appreciate. She was right on time and the appointment moved quickly, but felt like I really had her full focus and I could have taken more of her time had I needed to. I had a very good experience with all of the staff at this location. I was waiting on a test kit to be delivered and as soon as it came in I received a call. This rarely, if ever, happens at other offices. Everyone was very pleasant. The office was welcoming.

Hysterectomy

Dr. Pak is excellent. She is very knowledgeable and thorough. She explains things very well and takes time to answer questions.

Annual Well Woman Exam

She is not personable and I always feel rush to get out of the room. Short with answers. Why I still go is because I am healthy and have no issues. Been with this practice since 1998 miss the retired doctors

Birth Control Consultation

very rude staff. Place is ran different since I first started going.

Gynecological Ultrasound / Sonogram

I felt like the provider was not completely concerned with my pain. I felt like she could have gone further, and when I suggested an ultrasound, she didn’t feel like it was warranted, even though I was having extreme pain she made me feel like she was really basing her decision on what she read on a CT report other than doing all that need to be done to make sure that something new hadn’t developed since my Last ultrasound earlier in the year. After sharing this information with my primary care provider, she felt that it was warranted and has referred me to another gynecologist for a second opinion with an ultrasound included.

Annual Well Woman Exam

All required exams and tests were done as required

Annual Well Woman Exam

I met with a different provider due to Dr. Collins schedule. Based on current feedback/questionnaire prior to meeting with provider (brain fog, irritability, weight gain and based on previous years exam and referral for pelvic PT), I thought the provider would at least ask about current challenges and symptoms. Dr. Pak did not, she seemed hurried and when I asked about genetic test results and how these are typically communicated, she definitely spoke to me like I had no clue what she was discussing. I have a healthcare background, not that this matters; however, Dr. Pak just continued to talk in circles and not address my questions. Finally realized it wasn’t worth continuing the conversation.

Post-Partum Appointment
