Dr. Gripaldo is an exceptional care provider. She is compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and concerned about patients' welfare. It was immediately apparent that Dr. Gripaldo investigates interstitial lung diseases and ways to ensure that patients receive pertinent information to manage their health and to thrive. She addressed my concerns, offered clear explanations with analogies, elicited questions and answered them honestly, and provided encouragement. I appreciate that when Dr. Gripaldo shared goals for my progress, she used "We" and not "I".

Always thoughtful throughout and always willing to hear me out and give critical feedback with regards to my mental and physical health
Dr. Gripaldo is excellent! I love how thorough and detailed she is with all aspects of my conversations with her.
Dr. Gripaldo is the best!!!
I found it extremely difficult to communicate with Dr Gripaldo as she co=hose to wear a mask during the entirety of this visit. I am hearing challenged and read lips to enhance my ability to understand what has been spoken. This was explained to her and her response was to speak louder yet continue to wear the mask. Very frustrating for me and simply makes me seek care elsewhere
Best
Very patient. Explained everything.
She does not seem to remember past visits.we seem to rehash past visits. For example on this visit she asked if I was using Wixela daily. While the visit before this one, I told her the Pharmacy stated she had D/C'ed the Wixela. And at that previous visit, she did not reorder Wixela. So I still was not taking it as it had not been reordered. Then she seemed irritated at me that I had not been using it. And how could I have been using it? As she did not reorder it.

She was fantastic
Dr. Gripaldo is certainly very good at explaining anything the patient needs to know.
Exceptional
I did not feel the doctor listened to me. All I get are more tests. I think she was angry because I didn't agree with her. I did not like that the doctor hadn't made any effort to talk to the cardiologist when it is obvious to me that my problem includes an interaction between the two areas. I think doctors need to .collaborate.
First visit with MD. Would highly recommend.
Again, our experience was quite positive
I particularly liked Dr. Gripaldo's straightforwardness, and patience in response to my many questions.
