Dr. Ricardo Bardales, MD

I was refered to Dr. Bardales for an aspiration biopsy on one of the 3 thyroid nodules that had grown since sonogram last year. Anything with needles is worrisome. Prior to my appointment Aug 13th I was sent a brochure from Precision Pathology - one of the most amazing information brochures ever - the information was detailed but readable - never talked down to the patient - 1st thing the Dr. Bardales asked was " Are you scared" - I could honestly say no - not about the procedure - just concerned about resultsl" natural reaction - Absolutely easiest, painless procedure I've been thru - pinch of anesthetic less than at dentist , and light pressure felt when ultra thin needle inserted for biopsy - quickly/efficiently done - always assuring, and I was surprised when bandaid applied - all within 15 min! - no discomfort - in fact my son took me out for brunch down the road - and no problem eating/swallowing - Wish dentists were that easy - Staff amazing!!!
