Dr Pillinger always discusses the next step of treatment and wants my opinion as well. Since I was diagnosed w the endocrine issue, he, by far, has helped me feel and function much better!

Dr. Pillinger was professional, personable, knowledgeable.
Jun 09, 2022
He listened to my many questions and answered them in terms I could understand. He was patient and asked me, at least three times during the visit, if I had any other questions. He was concerned enough about my condition to squeeze me into his already busy schedule, which I really appreciated. I have every confidence about this doctor and the expert care I received.
