Dr Remolina is always receptive to my concerns
Dr Remolina is always attentive and professional.
Great manner in working with an elderly population
I was able to review & discuss my current situation with Dr.Remolina.
He was very rushed, said he palpated my R back where I was having pain, but actually he did not. Before I can remind him that he did not do the palpation, he rushed out to just check my urine dipstick & said it was neg for UTI. His MA should have had that result ready In the room, since there was plenty of time even before he went into the room. Instead of the MD spending time to find it, he could have easily done the palpation. I still have that same R sided pain now.
Dr. Remolina is very thorough and attentive. I feel very comfortable with his advice.

Physician seemed rushed and anxious to move to next patient.
Dr. Remolina had reviewed all the records in my medical chart added since my last visit with him.

He also performs a physical examination during each visit.

Dr Remolina is very personable and professional. In my most visit, he was particularly attentive to my concern over the swollen little finger on right hand.

The care doctor was very familiar with my chart and ask a lot of questions about my health. I would highly recommend him to someone else.

Dr. Remolina and I had a good discussion about my current situation and we discussed options to increase my exercise by walking. He also answered my question about getting the RSA vaccine. He also told me he wanted me to get my blood tested for thyroid levels as he might need to adjust my dosage. I did the lab work that day. I am glad to have Dr. Remolina as my primary care physician.
Dr. Remolina reviewed all the written questions that I had typed prior to the appointment, and he went over his answers to each of the questions, in detail. He also responded to my request for additional information regarding medical procedures that had be suggested to me by other physicians. Coordinating my entire health care by other medical professionals is what I have been fortunate enough to have received by my previous Emory PCP. I am fortunate to continue to receive the same level of care by Dr. Remolina, as I received by my previous Emory PCP.
Dr. Remolina asked what concerns were important to me, discussed them, made recommendations and asked if I wanted him to make referrals. I felt he was a great listener and that he provided excellent care.
