Summit Family Health Center

I don’t care what anyone Says this is hands down the best practice I have been too.. absolutely everyone was great and kind dr. DiPaola is very great , smart and I see he definitely goes for the absolute best out come

I had a first visit with Cristina Roszel. I’ve been dealing with crazy pain, unexplained health issues and just a general sense of despair as my body seems to break down more each day the past 4-5 years.

I absolutely dread and avoid doctors bc since my illness cant be seen, I ALWAYS had to explain THE PAST 4 YEARS, reexplain, ARGUE, cry and try convince the dr the severity of what I’m dealing with and the negative impact it’s having on my life and mental state …and also that it can’t be resolved with yogurt and exercise. It’s exhausting, frustrating and humiliating.

Today was the FIRST TIME EVER that I’ve walked in to an office and Cristina was READY. I mean READY. I didn’t have to explain Anything to her. She actually took the time to read my labs and chart prior to my visit. I didn’t even know that was a thing.

She walked in the door prepared, aware and ready to help. She knew I have a lot going on and that it’s confusing and frustrating. She offered empathy vs the apathy I’ve become used to.

She was never dismissive but instead made me feel completely validated. I didn’t have to ask her….SHE had a plan for ME already!! She had confidence when she said “we’re going to get to the bottom of this”.

She has no idea how much this means to someone like me that’s been unheard for so long. I could have cried and hugged her. It’s the best thing someone has said to me in years. I was truly moved. I’ve been waiting for this type of help and understanding for over 4 years. She has no idea… she feels like an absolute godsend and I am so grateful for her. Finally, Someone on my side that I can trust.
Thank you, thank you, thank yku.
