Verified Patient Reviews for Marlena Buitrago, ARNP
Marlena was incredibly helpful, informative, kind and gentle during the consultation and exam. She introduced a treatment for painful intercourse that no one had ever informed me about. She was also empathetic about my concerns about undergoing yet another colposcopy. I couldn't be happier with my experience, including with Dorina who did my intake.
NP very nice Professional Knowledgeable Courteous.
Marlena is a wonderful practitioner who is very attentive, kind, and takes her time to answer a long list of questions, however is clear and efficient (not too talky, not indecisive, and extremely compassionate.) For someone concerned about their health, this is very important to me. Her bedside manner is excellent and she has a trauma-informed approach while doing the exam. Even though it is normally an uncomfortable time for many women, she makes the experience comfortable and relaxed. Even the tone of her voice is grounding and soothing. I wish every medical professional had all of these qualities. Including myself. I have much to learn from her. I am 58 years old. Been blessed with excellent health insurance and access to care. I have even worked along side many womans care providers. Seen many specialists over the years. Marlena B APRN provided me with the best patient care experience, ever. I am blessed to have been referred to her by a healthcare professional. I was seen, heard and cared for with intelligence, compassion, dignity, hope and confidence. All my gratitude. ( also a shout out to Hayden, she was exceptional as well, very patient, caring and efficient)
Very caring provider.
