Signature Medical Associates

I keep receiving 2 $, 5 $ bills from them for the remainder of what my insurance wouldn’t pay. Really? A 2 $ bill that gets upped when it’s not paid within 2 weeks? Just bad business. I really will not be coming back EVER again. Thanks Signature Medical.

I grew up hating doctors. H-​a-​t-​i-​n-​g doctors. They always found something wrong with me (particularly my chunkiness) and treated me like a number. They were always slow to see me and quick to leave… And then there were the sterile (har) personalities.
So imagine my shock when, several years ago, I met Laura Demarco-​Paitl, doctor extraordinaire. She completely broke the stereotype created by my former experiences. She is the most down to earth doctor that I have ever come across (whenever she’s leaving me a voice-​mail she starts with «Hi this is Laura» in a super upbeat friendly voice), she’s kind (even when delivering harder news and knowing that I am always hard on myself, she’s always like «it’s not as bad as you thought and here’s what we can do»), she’s personal (asks me about my dogs EVERY time I see her, and prior to this month I hadn’t seen her for six). She takes her time with me, sympathizes with my adversion to needles, and always, always makes sure that I understand what’s up with my everything.
I have recommended numerous folks to her and every single one of them adore her as much as I do. I even debated not writing this review because I’m selfish and don’t want to have to wait to see her. But that wouldn’t be very Unilocal-​y of me now would it?
Alas, nothing is 100% perfect and the drawback I have is being able to get in RIGHTNOW. If I’m sick enough to call I want to see her that day, not the next. There’s been only a few times that I haven’t gotten my sickly (and therefore extra whiney) way immediately, and it’s annoying but I understand. I have to share this remarkable woman with the other injured and sick. But I am so comfortable and trust her so much that I deal with it.
And make sure to book any foreseeable appointments months in advance because she’s definitely worth it. I highly recommend that you do the same.
