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.

Great bed side manner.
Takes the time to listen and answer all questions. Respectful and knowledgeable.

Amazing
He delivered my first daughter after a long induction labor. I bled a lot as my uterus would not clot and he really came to the rescue and saved me from some pretty bad outcomes. He’s amazing!

The ABSOLUTE Best Doctor…Period!
I cannot emphasize enough how amazing of a doctor Dr. Pri-Paz is. Aside from his knowledge, incredible bedside manner, and calm & relaxed demeanor, Dr. Pri-Paz is hilarious! My husband & I looked forward to every appointment.Dr. Pri-Paz truly values and cares for his patients (the mother to be and your unborn baby). He is extremely cautious and conservative and makes you feel so comfortable with the progression of your pregnancy. I was being closely monitored for any abnormal Dopplers, and I in fact had one abnormal one while Dr. Pri-Paz was away on vacation. He called me on his vacation which was out of the country, to go over the results & discuss a plan of action. Who does that? There are honestly not enough words to describe the experience I had being under Dr. Pri-Paz’ care. My husband and I literally do not have one complaint. This was my first child and my first experience could not have been more ideal. We are so excited our daughter is here but we miss our appointments.

Best Doctor Ever.
Brilliant doctor. He has set the bar so high for me. Wish all of my medical professionals were this thorough and knowledgeable. He never rushes you, explains everything so well, asks the right questions. He genuinely cares. Not an alarmist so keeps you calm which is important for any expecting mother. With my last pregnancy I barely saw my doctor. Just the ultrasound techs and PAs. I don’t know how he does it but he’s hands on with everything. My husband and I are so happy to have found him. Highly recommend!!

Do not recommend
I had run ins with Dr. Pri-Paz when my fetal medicine doctor was not available and every single interaction he was condescending, patronizing or passive aggressive. I was being monitored for severe preeclampsia and he insinuated that my high blood pressure was my fault. I nearly didn’t get the steroid shot I so desperately needed ahead of my c-section (I had to remind him while I was getting prepped in triage). Definitely do not recommend. I cried too many tears because of this man.

Excellent obstetrician-gynecologist
My experience with Dr. Pri-Paz has been excellent so far. I am 26 week pregnant. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and patient. We enjoy our visits and look forward to them. He listens, always asks if you have questions, answers all of them patiently and takes his time. I have never felt rushed. He provides answers on the spot to anything you ask related to the pregnancy. He is empathetic, not afraid of providing opinions on difficult issues, while at the same time making it clear it is our decision to make. Also, he has a special ability for conducting tests without pain. He is gentle and good at describing how it will feel beforehand. What I like the most is probably his general attitude regarding difficulties. He does not unnecessarily exaggerate things, relaying a general sense of calmness. When he wants to emphasize something is serious or problematic, he does so without alarming, being objective. I have never had to wait for more than 10 minutes to see him.

Trust Dr. Pri-Paz completely. There’s no one else I’d rather have see my through my pregnancy & deliver my baby. His knowledge, bedside manor, thoroughness & humor, as well as kindness, makes him my only choice both the first time and now during my second pregnancy. So grateful for him!

Dr Pri Paz is the most incredible and skilled Dr!
Dr Pri Paz is the most incredible and skilled Doctor! His extremely calm and professional demeanor made each visit throughout pregnancy pleasant. He validated each question and concern and told me what to look out for. He stayed through out the entire birth process even though he wasn’t on call. When I experienced postpartum challenges, he returned my call and followed up with an office visit. I highly recommend using him!

Dr.Pri-Paz is by far one of the best and most knowledgeable gyn/mfm doctor I’ve ever met. Although he is a very busy doctor he never rushes through my weekly appointments. He’s always takes the time to listen and answer all my questions. With my high risk pregnancy he’s done everything he can for me to get to 28th weeks. If I were seeing another doctor I don’t think I the outcome would be the same. The travel is well worth it if your trying to have a healthy baby!
