I've only seen Dr. Pappolla twice, I think he's good, maybe great. His office staff is horrible. The second time I saw him I had a couple of questions arise. I was told by his staff a number of times that they would call me back. They never called me back not even once. I did not go back to his office because of his office staff.

I am beyond pleased with the results I got from coming to see Dr. Pappolla for my back injury from the vehicle accident I was in. When I came here I was very depressed and in so much pain that I couldn't hardly do anything and it was taking a toll on me. I was very depressed and started gaining so much weight because I couldn't even walk, much less excercise or even enjoy time with my kids and family. Since my PRP procedure I feel like I got my life back and I am so happy!

Dr. Pappolla was very attentive and ask questions regarding other health problems that may have an effect on my condition. He is very detail oriented and spends a great deal of time determining what course of treatment is right for the patient. I would highly recommend Dr. Pappolla.
