This was my first visit with Dr. Pekal. She was very kind and patient, explaining in great detail my diagnosis, prognosis, recent labs and course of treatment. I really appreciate the level of care she showed me.

Dr. Van Mater was unprofessional and not caring. Her focus wasn’t on the patient but on filling out questionnaires for insurance purposes. She lacks compassion and patient support. Wouldn’t recommend her at all.
