  • Just had my first experience of laser hair removal at this office, and would highly recommend to absolutely anyone! I have heard through friends/family different experiences with laser hair removal, and was a bit nervous to try it. With the Diolaze it was virtually painless, and loved the cooling sensation during the treatment. Richard was amazing, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire session. I am 2 weeks out from my 1st session, and already seeing small changes in my leg hair growth. Can’t wait to go back for my next session!

    Dr. Praderio and her staff are the absolute best in every service offered. They are compassionate, take time to listen to my skin/ body concerns and answer all my questions. They never up-sell a service but instead create a tailor based regimen that will provide the best results for my skin. Thank you Ashley and Richard for making me feel relaxed and comfortable during my facial treatments. I look forward to future services (Lumecca IPL) and highly recommend Dr. Praderio. DH

  • I cannot fully express how grateful I am for Dr PRADERIO and her staff. I had gotten to a place where my metabolism was out of service and my weight was at an all time high while my energy was at a horrible low. I won’t lie, the plan takes commitment, I had to learn to eat again (all foods) after years of weird diets. I am currently down 30 pounds with the continued support of Dr P and her nurse and I feel incredible! I am me again and that is worth every penny spent on ME! Thank you Dr P and Isabel for guiding me through and keeping me motivated! For reference I am in my 50s and was about 40 pounds overweight at the start .

  • Growing up in a state with exceptional health care and traveling as a RN around the US in great health systems, I found myself struggling to find a good provider once I moved to the area. Dr. Praderio and her staff are truly exceptional. I am very thankful I found her as a provider. The care delivered is always above my expectation. GYN visits can be uncomfortable but Dr Praderio and her staff always make the uncomfortable a lot more comfortable than I could hope for.

    I live 2.5 hours away and made the drive because of the amazing reviews. I was seen this morning and I am so glad my husband helped me find this clinic. I have come to dread visits after traumatic experiences with OBGYN’s in my hometown. The staff here were incredible, extremely patient and sweet. They truly make an effort to make you comfortable and confident in their team. Dr. Praderio was the kindest OBGYN I’ve ever met. She was empathetic, sweet, patient, and understanding. I went from feeling nervous in the waiting room, scared to have another traumatic experience, to walking out after the visit with a small sense of peace that I can trust my gynecologist - something I’ve never experienced before. I was amazed at the variety of services offered at the clinic. The decor is modern and the environment is calming. They even provided a small sample gift bag with a Lindt chocolate at the end of the visit. It may sound silly to mention, but little things like that make a difference. It feels nice to know that next time I return, I won’t be in that fight or flight state. I know I will feel much more comfortable now that I know I am finally in good hands. Thank you Dr. Praderio and your team for making a difference.

    I am so very thankful for Dr Praderio. No one talks about menopause. I’m here to tell you it stinks! I had been going to another Gynocologist and i kept explaining what was going on with my body but i wasn’t child bearing age so i just got told there’s nothing we can do. Finally someone told me about Dr Praderio who specializes in menopause. I absolutely feel like a new person when i received my pellets. I’m very thankful that she is very open about anything you want to know. She goes through the same thing we all do so who better to talk to then someone that will truly listen.

  • At first I didn’t think this hormone pellet therapy was going to work. Oh my goodness it has worked!! With my panic and anxiety attacks my intimacy was at a low. I always felt ugly although my husband would tell me all the time I’m beautiful. I love how her staff is always communicating with me with my blood work and how I’m feeling. I wish I would’ve know about Dr. Carolina Praderio earlier.

I can’t stress enough how great Dr. Praderio and her entire staff is. I originally went to balance my hormones with pellets. That has been worth every cent, not covered by insurance but reasonably priced. Then I mentioned I needed to lose weight and she introduced me to her weight loss program. I have lost 33 lbs. It was slow,, but they were so motivating and the entire team has consistently provided me support and they really care. I love them. Highly recommend her to any women, oh and hormone pellets for men too…my husband sees her too. Thank you for treating me as though I am special.

I have been going to Dr. Praderio since the summer of 2017, when she changed my life for the first time. I was having hormonal issues-night seats, moodiness, hot flashes, etc. She recommended the bio-identical hormone pellets and I have been on the program every 4 months and no longer have the hormone issues I was having.
Then in January 2019, I went to Dr. Praderio about my energy/metabolism level. I noticed I was always hungry and had no energy. I was swimming 4 times a week and following the Adkins diet meal plan lifestyle. I wasn’t able to get that last 20 pounds off. It didn’t matter how much I exercised or ate…I still couldn’t get the weight off. Then Dr. Praderio informed me of her Healthy Lifestyle Plan involving Lipo-B & Vitamin B12 shots. I was ready to start anything to get the weight off and have energy to swim the 4,000 yards I wanted to swim without feeling exhausted before I even got into the pool. I was able to lose the 23 pounds in 4 months following the lifestyle plan-using the my fitness pal application to chart my meals, getting the weekly shots and continue my swimming. I now feel amazing, and according to my husband, look amazing too. I have recommended Dr. Praderio to several of my friends and they are seeing the same results for their hormones and/or weight loss. Even my husband Kevin, felt like his testosterone level wasn’t where it should be so when he found out Dr. Praderio helps men too. He immediately had her start him on the Bio-identical hormone pellets for men. This has changed my husband’s life also. He has more energy and stamina. I would recommend Dr. Praderio and will continue to recommend her to my friends and family.

“Dr. Praderio is…the best OB-GYN MD I have ever seen. Some of you may think this is an exaggeration, but please allow me to give you some background. I have gone through hundreds of exams with pursuing fertility when I finally had to face the reality that at 34, my ovaries completely failed me and I literally had no eggs left. In the subsequent 8 years, I have been on HRT and seen numerous OB-GYNS as we have moved annually due to my husband’s work. Dr. Praderio stands out for her compassion, empathy, warmth, and collaborative approach. You can tell she is passionate about the oath she took to help and serve. I should also mention that I am a provider myself, so the bar is set pretty high! Her office staff matched her warmth and professionalism. I highly recommend Dr. Praderio for anyone, and I think younger women nervous about having well woman exams or seeing an OB-GYN for the first time will feel at ease immediately. Thank you, Dr. Praderio!”

Dr. Praderio is by far one of gyn’s the best in town. She is very understanding and explains everything with great detail. Never have I had a bad experience at her office. Honestly All of her office staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. I would greatly recommend her to anyone especially girls that are my age. It take a lot of courage being a teenager and understanding the importance of a check up. She is very compassionate.
