Dr. Paranal is a very knowledgeable, forward thinking and responsive physician. She has been my regular doctor for approximately 12 years, and she has always been helpful and attentive to my needs. She assisted me with a variety of minor health issues, and was instrumental in my journey to complete bariatric surgery, the results of which have been phenomenal. Dr. Paranal researches new trends in medicine, such as vitamin therapy, and she works hard to ensure that her patients are approved for the care, tests and medications they need. She is also very responsive in providing specialist referrals. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a good family practitioner.

Dr. Paranal is the best doctor that I have ever been to. She is very knowledgeable, seems to care greatly about my well being, has a special holistic approach to her medical care, and has always made time to see me when I needed to go in. She seems to really enjoy helping her patients. More doctors should be like Dr. Paranal.

Dr. Paranal is more concerned with the logistics of running her practice than the quality of the care she gives her patients. She has a horrible bedside manner. She is condescending, short tempered, and does not like to be asked questions. I feel always rushed when I visit her, like she doesn't have enough time for me to ask questions and talk about my health concerns. I do not think she enjoys being a doctor and she has too many patients to give the quality of care that is necessary. I waited a month for her to call me back and she never did, even after leaving several messages with the receptionist. I will not go back to her ever again.

Dr. Paranal is a truly caring practitioner - she has cared for my family for many years. She has a holistic viewpoint and wants to keep her patients healthy. Always willing to listen and learn from patients - she has never rushed me out the door. Definitely a premier practioner in her field. I wish more doctors would be like Dr. P.

Very thorough with diagnosis and very kind in explanations. For a person who doesn't really like to go to the doctor, I don't really mind going to her. She works with treatments you prefer or feel comfortable with, all while delivering excellent medical advice and treatment.
