Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

My sister Danielle Lemon lost her life under this so called dr’s care. DO NOT GO TO HER. This was a Never event. She should still be here...

Dr. Prestia and her staff are top notch. She has an impeccable reputation and goes above and beyond to care for her patients and their families. I wouldn’t want anyone else to care for me or my family.

Laura S in LA – Feb 23, 2019

Difficult to get anyone on the phone. The Dr is quick, not very thorough, and dismissive of questions and concerns. I was also misdiagnosed due to absolutely no tests performed to ensure she was correct. Suffered needless months. Her nurse was very rude to me over the phone when I explained birth control was not helping my condition and offered no help. A trip to the ER showed a mass (they actually looked for why I was bleeding and anemic) and now waiting for biopsy results. Never go here

I have been using Dr Prestia for 14 years. She has a great bed side manner and is extremely easy going and easy to talk to. She has delivered both of my children and saw me through several complications which ended in good results. I have recommended her to several family members who all love her as well.

I had just moved to the area when I first went to Dr. Prestia. I could not be more pleased. She immediately made me feel at ease. I feel I could come to her with any problem and she would know how to handle it.

Dr. Prestia is so down to earth and makes me so comfortable in what is normally an uncomfortable situation. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so.

I would never recommend this doctor. She has some highly unethical practices and cares about herself above her patients.

With an emergency referral sent to the Dr. Plus multiple phone calls where there is not a live person to schedule, they ask you to leave a message. No response after many attempts, to follow up with referral. Unprofessional. If practice is full, then a simple answer that they are not taking on patients would be the right thing to do. During All office hours the scheduling goes to voicemail.
