    She is absolutely one of the best physicians I have ever had. Not only does she treat me well and is honest with me, but she gives me a sense of hope. Emotional strength is just as strong if not stronger than immunological strength. I'm very fortunate to be one of her patients.

    Dr. Pabani will be my new Provider as [staff] is leaving. She seems wonderful! She listened carefully, had all of my history prepared and treated me with extreme kindness and compassion. I am looking forward to meeting her in-person, as this visit was converted to a video visit due to inclement weather.
