Providence Patient
I was quite pleased with Dr LaPenna. He explained what was going on in my back and discussed possible options. The office could not notify me of test results, but the tests have been scheduled.
Providence Patient
This was the best experience I have ever had with pain management. I cannot express enough how grateful I am. The doctor knew who I was, reviewed my chart, prior, to me being in the room, and asked questions about my pain management experience thus far. I have never had such a quality of care for pain management. His MA of 6 years was amazing, kind and professional. You should thank him, and some of your practitioners could learn a few things about beside manner from this doctor-
