    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.

  • This review is way past due. If you are looking for the very best and most caring Doctor for any and all of your female related mefical needs to the very personal issues of the intimate issues that you start to experience in your later year,, look no further than Dr Praderio. Dr P and her entire staff are the most understanding and kindest I have ever had the privilege to be cared for.. You can usually tell when a Dr is genuinely concerned or just there to see another patient. From the very first time I became a patient, it was just obvious that Dr Praderio has a true passion for people and their wellbeing. Do to Insurance reasons,, there was a bit of time when I was not able to see her. I am so glad I was finally able to be a patient again., my very first visit back after nearly 3 years, literally all the personnel remembered me and it is a wonderful feeling to feel like YOUR needs are truly personalized to you. I was so happy to find out that Dr Praderio has focused on the female health that a lot of us may be embarrassed to talk about or for that matter, where to even start. If you are looking for some therapies that could include sensitive Urinary issues , or the more delicate topic of female sexuality. We ladies, and our husbands are all lucky to have this Expert in our community. Dr Praderio truly is , in my own opinion and experience the absolute BEST and KINDEST Dr I have ever had. She is a woman too, that understands and experiences the same things all of us do, Thank you Dr Praderio and your entire staff for delivering World Class medical care for me. I truly appreciate you.!!! -Tina Morin

    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.

    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!

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.

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!

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.
