Ms. Pankowski was very good. The only negative is that after multiple xrays and having her touch my knees, etc., we had no idea why I'm in so much pain. We're going to try PT, which will take a lot of time. Sad that I left not knowing anything.

She is very good!
Laura is very caring and exceptional at her job
Laura P is awesome
Dr. Pankowski is a lovely person, but I just don't feel my issue is being properly addressed. I changed PA's because the first one didn't listen at all, and I had to keep complaining before she asked if I wanted an MRI. Turns out I had several issues that had nothing to do with her diagnosis. She even prescribed paid meds without checking my current medications. The pharmacist had to tell me I could not take the paid med with my anxiety med.
Great PA
I liked my PA.
Everyone is so nice and thoughtful and competent
