I was referred to Dr. Pizarro for a severe female problem and no one else would take the time to help. I am a nurse and I have known many patients that Dr. Pizarro has helped. But I never thought I would have to see him as a patient. I am glad I did. He took so much time listening to me I could not seriously believe it. I felt like I was his priority as a patient. Even though I am a nurse he knew that, but he used plain language, to be sure I totally understood. I was sure I needed surgery. Dr. Pizarro took the time to find out what was really wrong and he has helped me without surgery, even though he is a surgeon. I am very impressed and I can't say enough about Dr. Pizarro. I would recommend his services to anyone.
