Dr. Maelen Pantano, MD

I truly do not know how anyone can provide Dr. Pantano with higher than a 1 star. She is awful. You make an appointment and then wait in the exam room for 45-60 minutes before she comes in. Once she walks in, she talks about everything other than you or your concerns. I have heard more about her family and her health than my own. If you go to explain something, or ask her about your concern, she talks over you. She never listens. If you happen to be overweight, she will spend the entire time talking about how she hopes to lose her extra 2 pounds (so now you feel even worse about yourself). If you are diagnosed with something serious, she sends a mychart (not a call or anything). If you want refills, forget it. It took me 8 calls and 4 mychart messages to get her nurse to refill my prescription. And only after I expressed I had 0 left! Also, she has cancelled my last 2 appointments because she has been on vacation. So if you have any true concerns about your health, seek someone else.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Pantano for many years. Any health issues I’ve had she has been spot on with diagnosis and treatment.

I was extremely disappointed with the level of support provided by this doctor during an on-call situation over the weekend. Despite marking my question as urgent, I was assured a callback within 30 minutes from the operator, but the doctor reached out after an hour and a half. She had not reviewed my grandma's chart before the call, lacking the typical diligence of on-call physicians. When questioned, she mentioned “being on vacation” and suggested waiting another hour to review her chart. Instead of assisting, she directed me to contact other doctors, treating my call as an inconvenience to her. Her response, 'an hour won’t make much of a difference,' was dismissive when I asked why she couldn't access information during our call, as most on call doctors do. This negligence and lack of empathy are deeply troubling, considering the severity of the medical question I was calling about. I would not recommend this doctor at all based on this experience. Hopefully she learns something fro

She's very knowledgeable and got to the point of my visit quickly and professionally, she is very kind with an upbeat attitude. 10/10

Uncaring and not trying to look up important information. A struggle to get help from.

Excellent. Dr. Pantano takes time to listen and help in any way she can. I feel so fortunate to have her as my doctor.

After living in CA for many years and my search for a new Doctor, I'm so grateful to have found Dr Pantano! She is so knowledgeable, kind, caring, a good listener, and after blood work and routine tests, she knows what I need to improve my health. It's so good to have a doctor I feel I can trust.

Yes, I've been with her over 20 yesterday. & now that my daughter is a adult she goes to her. She always goes that extra mile for adults & younger ones. I have sent 2 close friends to her. A Dr & friend i truly trust. Stella Johnson.

Dr. Pantano is the best physician I have ever seen. As a pre-med major, I appreciate the Doctor's evaluation and suggestions concerning my health status. I sincerely hope she outlives me due to the fact I choose her expertise over my healthcare management... until then. Keep up the great work performance on behalf of your patients, Dr. Pantano.

She is very caring. I have been coming to her for over 25years. Excellent doctor.

Dr. Pantano is always very professional, attentive, and thorough. She answers all questions and is quick to prescribe necessary procedures or prescriptions.

Of course I would recommend her! She's easy to talk to and pays attention, identified and checked out my problem, gave me 2 prescriptions, had a little chat and the pain was gone over night! And always comes in with a smile!

Great doctor
