    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.

    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.

    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

  • 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 started that is weight loss journey last year, and since then I have learned many helpful tips Dr. Praderio. I told myself that I had to lose at least 20 pounds before I turn 30, and here I am still trying to accomplish my goal. When I first stepped on the scale, I was in shock. I knew that I had to do something about it, and especially because I had the support of Dr. Praderio, the staff, and patients who started with me. I started out on a 1,200 calorie a day and thought to myself this is going to be hard, but I knew that I had to try. With the help of the app helping me count my calories, it became easier for me to choose what to eat. Then I realized that it was not all about eating salads, there was much more of a variety. With the help of skinnytaste.com, I found so many healthy recipes that were within my calorie range. I bought a food scale from H-E-B, and began weighing my food. Each Friday as many of you know, I would step on the scale and was very excited when I would lose at least a pound. We would all motivate each other not to give up. At that time was not taking the Phentermine, was still able to lose inches which helped boost my confidence. Now, I take the Enhance supplement that really did help curve my appetite. I leave it right next to my coffee pot in the morning to I remember to take it before I start my day. I have lost a total of 16 lbs. and I am still able to maintain my weigh in a healthy range. I am happy with what I have lost, and feel confident that I will reach my goal.

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 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.

I found that the older I get, the harder it is to lose weight. I happened to come in for my annual appointment and I see all these flyers about Dr Praderio’s weight loss program. It was just what I needed and at the right time. All my life, I’ve battled weight loss and have tried different plans where the next time, that plan didn’t work as easy as the time before. Of course with any diet or weight loss program, you have to work at it and sometimes you need a little help along the way. At 47, I needed that help and Dr Praderio’s program has provided just that by listening to me and my struggles. I’m now eating healthier and I’ve also started running which I’ve never ever done before. The best part is the support and encouragement that you get at your weekly weigh-in. I’ve lost almost 40 lbs and although I’m at a comfortable weight, I’m confident that I can reach my goal of 20 more lbs.

“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!”
