Dr. Paula treats you with respect and understanding. She creates achievable short term goals to guide you to a long term lifestyle change. Dr. Paula is welcoming and makes you feel like your not at a doctor's appointment. It's more like meeting with a friend who wants you to succeed in your health goals even when you step out of line she guides you back on the right path. 10/10 recommend this physician to anybody.

Paula Prestone is an incredible listener and really cares about me as a patient. She provides real advice to stay healthy and provides ideas in a positive manner. I have an autoimmune disease and I can tell she really cares and tries to understand my symptoms while providing me with the encouragement to stay the course towards a healthier lifestyle.

I have never truly cared for doctors and my previous one was not pleasant as they even messed up my meds! However, at my daughter's recommendation I decided to give Paula a chance. I found Paula very nice, she listened, asked questions and made suggestions. I was very pleased.

Paula had never met me before and I was able to get an appointment that very same day. She was very respectful and caring and made me feel at ease. She took all of my symptoms into great consideration and she was very thorough in the exam and gave me some ideas on what I could do to try to help improve the pain in my back while giving me referrals for the next step of needed care. I thought she did an excellent job.

I need a big cuff to get an accurate blood pressure result and the nurse couldn't find one anywhere. She was unable to get my blood pressure at all. Also the pulse oximeter wouldn't stay on my finger to get an oxygen reading, she said it was because the oximeter had been dropped so many times. Virtua Primary needs some new equipment!! I was also there last year for a stress test and they couldn't find a large cuff to get an accurate blood pressure reading eighter.
