I would highly recommend Dr. Linda Falconio and the PA, Johanna Morofski at The Doctor’s Office for anything that ails you. I also recommend the front staff who greets me and makes me feel like a part of their family.
Dr. Falconio took more than an hour with me when I first established my care in September 2015. She even has an in-house lab to draw blood. Her staff was so helpful and comforting, and my challenging veins weren’t any big deal for them. Dr. Falconio listened to every little detail I had to share about my medical history and took note of each and every one of them with her fingers typing faster than I could speak!! I took comfort in petting her beautiful Cocker Spaniel, Casper while I went down my list of ailments.
I haven’t had the luxury of ever having a doctor that actually listens and gives educated and caring opinions. Most doctors that I have seen don’t “care” enough for the actual and complete well being of their patients. Dr. Falconio isn’t like “most” doctors. She’s a treasure and someone who makes you trust her as the provider of care whether it be your body, mind or soul.
I have had chronic right upper abdominal pain my whole life, debilitating pain that comes with flare ups. I was having a flare up on my visit to The Doctor’s Office and the PA, Johanna examined me. As I lay on the table she asked me to take a deep breath as she had her hand on the top of my abdomen. I screamed in pain. She stepped back and said, “It’s your gall bladder”. Within 15 minutes I had a referral in hand from Dr. Falconio’s MA, Mirian to a local imaging clinic for an ultrasound. The ultrasound confirmed that I not only had countless stones, but that I had “sludge”. After 40 years of horrendous pain, I had a diagnosis, and 24 hours later, I had surgery. I haven’t had right upper stomach pain once since then, and I am so very thankful to Dr. Falconio and Johanna for taking such outstanding care of me.
On my last visit I even got to participate in a genetic study to determine how I as an individual process medication based on my genetics. Cutting Edge medicine.
Thank you to The Doctor’s Office for always being there to fix me and genuinely caring that I do indeed get better.
