Dr. Pugliese and the Nurses are very thorough and caring .

Jul 31, 2026
My follow-up visit with Dr Pugliese was informative, and I appreciated his taking the time to answer my questions. The main concern was the wait time. The doctor was over an hour and a half late, and after about an hour, the nurse came in to let me know he was running behind and that I was next to be seen. By the time he came in, my mammogram results, which had been done several hours earlier, were already posted in MyChart, so I had seen the results before our discussion. He was very apologetic about the delay, which I appreciated, and I understand that unexpected circumstances can sometimes affect the schedule.

Dr. Pugliese was so kind to squeeze me in when my doctor told him about my radiology findings - he said he didn't want me waiting with anxiety for several more days. His nurse, PA, nor he ever seemed concerned that closing time was rapidly approaching. They never rushed us but gave us the attention and care that you'd give a friend, and we'd only just met. Even my biopsy results came back rapidly (submitted Friday with results in on Monday), which is a testament to Piedmont's process, as well. Even though they didn't contain good news, I have no hesitations remaining with Dr. Pugliese and the Piedmont organization for all of my next steps.

He’s very personable, easy going and has a sense of humor as well. He does all that he can to help his patient, (and family members) feel comfortable and well informed. Plus I feel like he has a relationship with God, which is important to me, and he believes in prayer.
