SHC Patient, Apr 2017
Although the doctor was friendly and attentive, the appointment was very rushed. We covered many topics in a relatively short amount of time. When I left, I wasn't sure the main goal for my appointment - renewal of a prescription - was actually done.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr. Pagano is great. Caring, quite competent, patient, able to explain well, courteous, thorough and efficient. She sets the bar high for the medical profession.
SHC Patient, Mar 2017
Dr Pagano is top notch- she skillfully and quickly analyzed my problem and clearly outlined the course of treatment. She has excellent communication and people skills. Overall I'd say she is a great addition to the Menlo Medical Clinic staff.

SHC Patient, Jan 2017
GREAT experience. Dr. Pagano clearly is into sports herself and her experiences underscore her knowledge and you feel confident that she understands what you're experiencing. She personifies "if you're going to talk the talk, you've got to walk the walk". Loved her.

Dr. Pagano clearly knows her stuff.. I had no issues with her ability to asses me or other patients..
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
Good.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
The doctor recommended excellent therapy. The doctor was caring, supportive, sensitive and knowledgeable. Her communication was outstanding. She sent me home with documents to support and reinforced her presentation.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
The doctor was a little rushed!
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
The availability of doctors at Menlo Medical if you need to be seen quickly is very poor
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
They were running late, and doctor felt rushed - they were really backed up. Appointment felt rushed and I didn't come away with all questions answered.
SHC Patient, Nov 2016
The physician made time to see me over her lunch hour the same day as I first attempted to schedule for evaluation of my injury. She covered all issues regarding my diagnosis and treatment VERY thoroughly. She was rushed because she had, I assume, other scheduled patients to attend to, however she exceeded my expectations in all categories asked about above.
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Dr. Pagano is thorough and also expresses empathy.
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
She was great, thorough explanations explaining my options and great skill during the injection.
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
Dr. Pagano is EXCELLENT! I have already passed out her card to a couple of friends. It's a shame there is such a time-pressure going on.
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
It was very hard to say anything. The doctor did most of the talking (95%). I am not questioning the doctor's expertise but my feeling was she was not really interested in listening to me and wanted to get me out of there as soon as possible.
SHC Patient, Oct 2016
very pleased with the care provided.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Very thorough and professional. Liked the fact that x-rays were taken to check for the problem.
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
I was very impressed with her, but she's very fast-paced and I would appreciate it if she'd communicate just a touch slower. She's very good, though!
SHC Patient, Sep 2016
Dr. Pagano is very dedicated to her patients & always goes through my health with a fine comb. Will always follow up with phone calls & emails.
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
Cristina Pagano is a warm, supportive and capable physician. I would recommend her very highly to my friends who have orthopedic problems and need advice and treatment. She is an excellent orthopedic physiatrist!
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
As said earlier they worked me in the same day and they Dr. Pagano spent a good deal of time with me, at least a half and hour or 40 minutes. I am sure I cut into her lunch break.
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
wow! the physician was fantastic! she is so smart! she knew exactly which muscles I had injured based on the short description I was able to tell her about my injury! her treatment plan is going well so far. I would highly recommend Dr. Pagano!
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
I had an allergic reaction to some acne medication (with some blistering), and having researched the medication after this myself (benzyl peroxide) I would have liked the doctor to give me a little more warning that it might be harsh, and what to do if I had a bad reaction (putting it on less often, how to calm angry skin afterwards etc). I did appreciate being offered the medication--that the doctor noticed I had an acne problem (this was not the initial purpose of my visit) and so I really appreciated Dr Pagano's thoroughness and willingness to help me with this problem as well as the one I made the appointment for!
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
Dr. Pagano is very professional, friendly and explained my condition thoroughly.
SHC Patient, Aug 2016
Dr. Pagano was excellent. She took her time to helping with my pain. Very patient with me explaining evrything. I love going to her for any issue of pain I have. Great MD!!!
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I did not have an appointment with Dr. Pagano but she took me in right away. I had an allergic reaction and she was so kind and welcoming. We need more doctors like her.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
I was very impressed by the information I received and the concern of Dr. Pagano for my knee problem.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Excellent.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
DOC PAGANO IS A VERY CARING PERSON AND DOCTOR. I WISH I HAD FOUND HER YEARS AGO.
SHC Patient, Jul 2016
Dr. Pagano was most informative about what she was going to do and why.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Dr Pagano is great! Really appreciate the explanations and practical approach.
SHC Patient, Jun 2016
Christina is a very competent, knowledgeable, and sensitive physician. She was a delight to meet, talk with about my condition, and plan my treatment. I would recommend her highly to friends for orthopedic problems, especially since she has no conflict of interest (e.g., proposing surgery) and is willing to take a conservative approach to treatment.
