In 2023 I had gotten ill and the doctor was very dismissive. You get test results through MyChart very quickly but any follow up conversation never happens or you have to chase the doctor. I have never been treated so poorly by a practice or a doctor. I have moved on to a different primary care provider last year.

He felt miserable all day. Hours later one of his sisters ended up in the ER, and guess what she tested positive for? Strep! She's feeling great now, having had started on antibiotics. My son wasted a day laying around because of the doctor's arrogance. This practice is good at finding available times to see patients, but that is pointless if they are willing to send patients away with an undiagnosed infection! Also, anyone considering this place because of Dr. Burkin: other than for the initial interview, we have never been able to see him! He never have any available times.

We've had plenty of first time parent concerns and he's tackled them all super timely and with a way of explaining things that calms us and gives us more confidence every time. And we were amazed with Katie, the Lactation Consultant. she has decades of experience, she CHANGED our world!! we brought in our 5 day old baby and she completely turned me around with her knowledge base. I brought him in with me and nursed him with her help so that she could observe. She reframed so much of what the hospital told me generically and tailored it to me and our son based on how and what she saw. and she was spot on! he was happier, less frustrated and trusted me to read his cues correctly and get what he needed. it was an instant fix, I can't get enough of her!! She makes herself available by phone too if tou can't make it to her in person. She and Dr. Stephen are in this with you every step, honestly we couldn't have asked for more caring human beings to help guide us.

My kids LOVE going to the dr. They literally ask to go. Even if there are shots involved they like being there. When the heck does that ever happen? Dr. Nikki is more than a doctor.

I truly cannot recommend Nina Acupuncture highly enough. After almost a year of suffering from…read moredebilitating Long COVID symptoms -- barely able to walk down the block, in and out of the emergency room with no real answers -- I am finally getting my life back. After just two appointments with Nina, I am now walking up to 15,000 steps a day and easing back into workouts. It feels like nothing short of a miracle. Nina didn't just offer a standard treatment -- she went above and beyond, incorporating techniques from her own continuing education specifically targeted at Long COVID. Every appointment is incredibly efficient, yet never rushed. You can tell that each session is thoughtfully customized to what your body needs that day. If you are dealing with a complex, overwhelming condition or just want to ensure you're going to one of the best practitioners you can, and if you want someone deeply invested in your healing, Nina is the person to see. I am so grateful to have found her!

Thanks so her, I'm back to walking and yoga and not even thinking about my heel. :-) Not only that: Nina's understanding of the connection between the presenting symptom and other areas of the body has meant that I've been able to feel relief ALL OVER my left side, even in places I didn't realize I was tight! I highly recommend Nina, and am going to stay on her books as maintenance, because I don't want to get to that point of pain ever again.

Franciska was a match made in heaven! I am a single mom by choice. I hired Franciska to be part of…read moremy Post Partum Doula support team. She was so much more. Unfortunately, my labor/delivery Doula became unavailable and her backup was not around either. Franciska ended up picking me up from my home and taking me to the hospital as I was in active labor and I was alone (Due to unfortunate failures on the other doula's not affiliated with Fran). She stayed with me for a couple hours at the hospital while I was continuing to labor until a back up doula arrived. Her methods to sooth me during labor (without epidural) were very helpful. Franciska then returned a couple of days later on my day of discharge to take me and the baby home. She spent the next 8 weeks supporting us day and night. She set the bar so high that anybody else always fell short. My daughter and I adore Franciska. Her foods and snacks were delicious and it helped me significantly recover postpartum and while I was breast-feeding. She also paid very close attention to my health when my OB's dropped the ball on so many things. I ended up getting preeclampsia postpartum and if it wasn't for Franciska, I might've ended up hospitalized. Truly, owe my life to her! She is absolutely amazing!

My first pregnancy took place during COVID, so I didn't attend any classes or have a doula. For my second pregnancy, I knew I wanted a completely different experience--one where I felt informed, prepared, and supported. Fran exceeded all my expectations. She listened attentively to what would make me feel most comfortable and confident on delivery day, offering tailored guidance on preparatory exercises, essential information, and day-to-day tips for navigating the journey. Her expertise in birth preparation and support was invaluable, and her warm, compassionate approach made all the difference. I feel so fortunate to have had Fran by my side. I only wish I had worked with her during my first pregnancy! Any future pregnancies for myself or others would undoubtedly benefit from her outstanding doula services. I cannot recommend Fran highly enough.

She has never tested me for a fungal issue diagnosed by my lung doctor a few years ago via a Blood test. He referred me to an infectious disease doctor who never treated me since the medication was very strong and could damage my kidney. Many months after a near death experience in 2023/2024, I was still feeling pain in my liver. Dr Passalaqua was recommended and when I told her my disease doctor said my discomfort and pain would subside, she yelled at me to say "Who told you that I shouldn't experience any pain, she said it should/ could take a year and a half to heal since my abscesses were so bad and I was days from dying. Now I am sick again and exhausted all tests available and when she came in the room she yelled that my fungal issues from a few years ago were resolved. I was Never retested, so her aggressive attitude was not warranted. She continued to be condescending and when I tried to explain my symptoms and tests to date she kept shutting me down. I aggressively through her out of my room and asked her not to return! Also when I called her answering service last evening asking to speak to the on call doctor, which I understand she is the only doctor in her office for, her office staff disguised her self as Dr Passalaqua. Her voice was the same as the office girl who said an August 6th was the soonest appointment. It was unacceptable because I have been battling symptoms since April 30. Time is of the essence and I am my only advocate. Needless to say I will never return or recommend Dr Passalaqua ever again. I called my former disease specialist and they order blood test as that is how it was diagnosed back in 2023. She wanted to do a sputum test. She was NOT listening to my requests or concerns!! A horrible experience despite her 30 years of experience told to me by the attending ER doctor.
