I started with another doctor at Mercy which she stopped her practice so I started going to Dr…read more Karney. I have been very pleased she is very professional caring and explains everything to you. She also makes you feel comfortable when you are getting you annual exam. I glad I starting seeing her. I hope she doesn't stop her practice too lol. There is 1 down fall is one of the nurse's talk about her issues not yours but its ok to see the doctor.

From the owner: You want board certified doctors, experienced nurses and other skilled professionals who treat you…read morewith the same compassion, concern and commitment to excellence theyd give their own mothers. Thats what Mercy Health System is all aboutworking hard and doing whatever it takes to keep raising the bar, to provide the best care possible. Whether in primary family care or our dozens of specialties, such as neuroscience, cancer care, heart care, trauma care, orthopaedics, heart care, and plastic surgery, we will always stretch ourselves further to make sure every patient gets the best care possible.

Dr. Persino rocks my socks off! I started seeing him about 5 years ago after I moved to the area…read moreand read tons of online reviews of the options nearby. I decided to go to Dr. Persino after reading his really great Google reviews, and now, years later, I'm so happy with my decision! (I think the one review that really stood out to me was a woman who had said she moved 3 hours away but liked Dr. Persino so much that she continued to see him and had him deliver her two subsequent babies, even though she moved far away!). Here's the gist of why I think he's so great: He's been an OBGYN for many years, and is very knowledgable and confident in his abilities. He's hilarious and easy-going, and he really puts my mind at ease, since I tend to be a bit of a worry wort. His great sense of humor and super friendly demeanor make him very approachable and easy to talk to. He has out-of-this-world bedside manner, and does not rush through appointments. He will answer any and all questions you have, chat about random things, and even throw a couple one-liners in for good measure :) He delivered our son three years ago and did an awesome job. He knew I really wanted a vaginal delivery and after hours of labor and pushing, instead of recommending we do a Caesarian to just get it over with, he stuck by my side, cheered me on, and followed my wishes of letting me deliver my son vaginally (even though it probably took longer and was more inconvenient for him). I'm currently under his care for a twin pregnancy. I know Caesarian is more likely with a multiple pregnancy, and he has assured me multiple times that we will try for a vaginal delivery if possible. Knowing I'm a bit scared of a c-section, he has talked to me about the surgery and the whole process, and has really eased my fears. I know that my babies (and I) are getting the very best care under Dr. Persino's watch. I cannot imagine going to anyone else, and I wholeheartedly recommend him! Sidenote: Sometimes office staff can really make or break an office visit experience. I have to say that two people at this office really stand out in particular as consistently being awesome- Sue, his receptionist, and Christa (sp?) are so incredibly friendly and enjoyable to talk to. They've both gone out of their way to help me out on various occasions. I actually look forward to catching up with them when I have an appt. and feel like they really care about the progress of my pregnancy and me! One more thing (as if this isn't long enough!): I like that it's a smaller-ish office and I don't feel like cattle they are just herding through the doors. When I go, everyone recognizes me and calls me by name...not something you usually get with a suburban medical office. Just an added bonus I wanted to mention. Bottom line: If you're looking for an experienced, knowledgable, and super friendly OBGYN- go to Dr. Persino!

Dr. Persino was there in the hospital the day after my daughter was born to check on us (in 2003)…read more I saw him throughout my pregnancy and felt completely safe and at ease, in excellent hands. I would give him a 10/10 with bedside manner. When I had a few emergency type situations (dehydration and lack of fetal movement) he really did put me at ease, let me come in and we did a sonogram to make sure everything was ok. Because he wasn't panicking, I could calm down. Turned out everything was fine. I would highly recommend him as well as Dr. Wittman to any of my close friends. The staff is always courteous and extremely efficient, and the nurses are sweethearts. I have gone to this office since 2003 and only had to switch because I moved 50 miles away.

This Dr. should not be practicing. He told my father to take multiple doses of acetaminophen daily…read moreto stop his cough (it doesn't suppress coughing). I also had my dad inquire about taking creatine daily for cognitive/memory reasons, and the dr responded by saying creatine DOES NOT support memory or cognitive function, which is absolutely false. There's tons of study's by NHS and other top tier outfits like Mayo Clinic showing it does. Don't trust this guy with your health, he is incompetent.

My service was terminated after I left 4 unreturned messages for the office manager to call me…read moreback. Doctor said they would provide 30-day support while I found a new primary care physician. When I called within 6 days to get in with a serious viral infection they ignored my call and I had to go to an urgent care facility. I had been their patient for over 3 years. No way to treat a patient!
