  • I would absolutely recommend EvolveXL tone treatment! I have had 4 treatments of Tone and now I’ve been told “Your booty looks plump!” 😉 Seeing the changes has built my confidence and feel that it was worth it! I am grateful to Dr. Praderio and Ashley for recommending this treatment and making me feel comfortable with this experience. I am very pleased with the experience and can’t wait for my next treatment.

    I absolutely love going to Dr. Praderio’s office to receive my facial treatments. They really took the time to get to know what my skin concerns were. Each treatment was tailored to my skin needs. They take their time and have never rushed any treatments. I have received different treatments and I am extremely satisfied. My skin looks amazing and will continue going for my facial treatments: Morpheus8, Forma, and IPL which are all amazing. I definitely recommend them! Ashley and Richard are awesome!

    I am so very thankful for Dr Praderio. No one talks about menopause. I’m here to tell you it stinks! I had been going to another Gynocologist and i kept explaining what was going on with my body but i wasn’t child bearing age so i just got told there’s nothing we can do. Finally someone told me about Dr Praderio who specializes in menopause. I absolutely feel like a new person when i received my pellets. I’m very thankful that she is very open about anything you want to know. She goes through the same thing we all do so who better to talk to then someone that will truly listen.

    I live 2.5 hours away and made the drive because of the amazing reviews. I was seen this morning and I am so glad my husband helped me find this clinic. I have come to dread visits after traumatic experiences with OBGYN’s in my hometown. The staff here were incredible, extremely patient and sweet. They truly make an effort to make you comfortable and confident in their team. Dr. Praderio was the kindest OBGYN I’ve ever met. She was empathetic, sweet, patient, and understanding. I went from feeling nervous in the waiting room, scared to have another traumatic experience, to walking out after the visit with a small sense of peace that I can trust my gynecologist - something I’ve never experienced before. I was amazed at the variety of services offered at the clinic. The decor is modern and the environment is calming. They even provided a small sample gift bag with a Lindt chocolate at the end of the visit. It may sound silly to mention, but little things like that make a difference. It feels nice to know that next time I return, I won’t be in that fight or flight state. I know I will feel much more comfortable now that I know I am finally in good hands. Thank you Dr. Praderio and your team for making a difference.

  • Growing up in a state with exceptional health care and traveling as a RN around the US in great health systems, I found myself struggling to find a good provider once I moved to the area. Dr. Praderio and her staff are truly exceptional. I am very thankful I found her as a provider. The care delivered is always above my expectation. GYN visits can be uncomfortable but Dr Praderio and her staff always make the uncomfortable a lot more comfortable than I could hope for.

    I recently underwent the Morpheus 8V and O-Shot procedures performed by Dr. Praderio, and I am absolutely thrilled with the exceptional results and care I received. I am compelled to share my experience and wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Praderio to anyone considering these transformative treatments. From the moment I entered the office, I was warmly welcomed by the entire staff. Dr. Praderio and Crystal, in particular, stood out for their high level of professionalism and genuine care. They made every effort to ensure I felt comfortable and well-informed about the procedures. Their attentive approach and willingness to address my questions and concerns significantly contributed to a positive overall experience. The Morpheus 8V treatment surpassed my expectations in terms of comfort. Dr. Praderio skillfully guided me through each step, explaining the procedure as it progressed. Crystal's presence and support further enhanced my comfort level. The entire process was seamless, instilling a sense of confidence that I was under the care of knowledgeable experts. The results of the Morpheus 8V treatment were nothing short of remarkable. Even after just one session, I noticed a significant improvement. Not only did I experience enhanced sensitivity in a positive way, but the treatment also effectively addressed my longstanding issue of urinary incontinence. I am overjoyed to share that I no longer rely on panty liners and can now fully enjoy my daily activities without worry or inconvenience. Equally successful was the O-Shot procedure, during which Dr. Praderio and Crystal ensured my understanding and comfort throughout. The effects of the O-Shot became apparent almost immediately, significantly enhancing my overall sexual satisfaction and well-being. The life-changing improvement I have experienced can be attributed to Dr. Praderio's skill in providing this transformative treatment. Undoubtedly, both the Morpheus 8V and O-Shot procedures were worth every penny. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Praderio and Crystal for their exceptional care, expertise, and the outstanding results I have achieved. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Praderio to anyone considering these treatments, as I have complete trust in her abilities and dedication. If you are seeking painless, effective treatments that can truly transform your life and deliver outstanding results, I urge you to consult with Dr. Praderio. You will not regret choosing her for these needs.

    I cannot fully express how grateful I am for Dr PRADERIO and her staff. I had gotten to a place where my metabolism was out of service and my weight was at an all time high while my energy was at a horrible low. I won’t lie, the plan takes commitment, I had to learn to eat again (all foods) after years of weird diets. I am currently down 30 pounds with the continued support of Dr P and her nurse and I feel incredible! I am me again and that is worth every penny spent on ME! Thank you Dr P and Isabel for guiding me through and keeping me motivated! For reference I am in my 50s and was about 40 pounds overweight at the start .

    Just had my first experience of laser hair removal at this office, and would highly recommend to absolutely anyone! I have heard through friends/family different experiences with laser hair removal, and was a bit nervous to try it. With the Diolaze it was virtually painless, and loved the cooling sensation during the treatment. Richard was amazing, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I am 2 weeks out from my 1st session, and already seeing small changes in my leg hair growth. Can’t wait to go back for my next session!

I have been going to Dr. Praderio since the summer of 2017, when she changed my life for the first time. I was having hormonal issues-night seats, moodiness, hot flashes, etc. She recommended the bio-identical hormone pellets and I have been on the program every 4 months and no longer have the hormone issues I was having.
Then in January 2019, I went to Dr. Praderio about my energy/metabolism level. I noticed I was always hungry and had no energy. I was swimming 4 times a week and following the Adkins diet meal plan lifestyle. I wasn’t able to get that last 20 pounds off. It didn’t matter how much I exercised or ate…I still couldn’t get the weight off. Then Dr. Praderio informed me of her Healthy Lifestyle Plan involving Lipo-B & Vitamin B12 shots. I was ready to start anything to get the weight off and have energy to swim the 4,000 yards I wanted to swim without feeling exhausted before I even got into the pool. I was able to lose the 23 pounds in 4 months following the lifestyle plan-using the my fitness pal application to chart my meals, getting the weekly shots and continue my swimming. I now feel amazing, and according to my husband, look amazing too. I have recommended Dr. Praderio to several of my friends and they are seeing the same results for their hormones and/or weight loss. Even my husband Kevin, felt like his testosterone level wasn’t where it should be so when he found out Dr. Praderio helps men too. He immediately had her start him on the Bio-identical hormone pellets for men. This has changed my husband’s life also. He has more energy and stamina. I would recommend Dr. Praderio and will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

Dr. Praderio is by far one of gyn’s the best in town. She is very understanding and explains everything with great detail. Never have I had a bad experience at her office. Honestly All of her office staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would greatly recommend her to anyone especially girls that are my age. It take a lot of courage being a teenager and understanding the importance of a check up. She is very compassionate.

I can’t stress enough how great Dr. Praderio and her entire staff is. I originally went to balance my hormones with pellets. That has been worth every cent, not covered by insurance but reasonably priced. Then I mentioned I needed to lose weight and she introduced me to her weight loss program. I have lost 33 lbs. It was slow,, but they were so motivating and the entire team has consistently provided me support and they really care. I love them. Highly recommend her to any women, oh and hormone pellets for men too…my husband sees her too. Thank you for treating me as though I am special.

“Dr. Praderio is…the best OB-GYN MD I have ever seen. Some of you may think this is an exaggeration, but please allow me to give you some background. I have gone through hundreds of exams with pursuing fertility when I finally had to face the reality that at 34, my ovaries completely failed me and I literally had no eggs left. In the subsequent 8 years, I have been on HRT and seen numerous OB-GYNS as we have moved annually due to my husband’s work. Dr. Praderio stands out for her compassion, empathy, warmth, and collaborative approach. You can tell she is passionate about the oath she took to help and serve. I should also mention that I am a provider myself, so the bar is set pretty high! Her office staff matched her warmth and professionalism. I highly recommend Dr. Praderio for anyone, and I think younger women nervous about having well woman exams or seeing an OB-GYN for the first time will feel at ease immediately. Thank you, Dr. Praderio!”

First Of all, I absolutely love Dr. Carolina Praderio! In 2019 I went in to see her about my problems a with menopause and I started the hormone therapy. Last year, 2020 I mentioned to her that I was having so many problems losing weight. She introduced me to Natalia who has been a constant inspiration for me to learn to eat right and not give up when I did not have a good week. This whole office , from staff to Dr P. are so supportive. I highly recommend visiting this office, I guarantee you will keep going back!
