Well-Woman Exam Reviews
Love Dr. G!!!! Love her staff too!! Great customer service and I felt very comfortable and welcome!
I followed Dr. Giordano from Maui Medical Group. She pleasant, warm and easy to talk, making my annual visits enjoyable. I hope she stays on Maui a long long time.
Dr Giordano is one of the best physicians I’ve ever worked with. I met her when when I was working as an RN at the surgical center. She is a professional and skilled surgeon. I brought a family member in to her office when she was practicing for years at Maui Medical Group (MMG) and she was so present and compassionate with her that I switched to her as my own gynecologist. I just love her and her staff is great too! Well worth the drive from Wailuku to see her.
I was terrified to get a Pap smear it had been 7 years due to previous negative experience . After walking in to the facility it almost feels like a spa , not a medical facility . Emma is the best NP, she is kind , attentive and gentle. I didn’t even know she completed the Pap smear that is how gentle she was . I highly recommend this place especially if you are anxious like me .
Dr. G changed my life, she gave me something I thought was lost after 39. I spent countless hours, days, and money trying to restore and fix what stress, age, gimmicks and empty promises were taking from me. I honestly had given up and just tried to "learn" to accept myself with all theses obstacles or "flaws" I honestly felt bad after our first visit as I unloaded all my past negative experiences and doubt she would do any better than then last guy I gave all my money and time. I wish I had all day and all the words to tell you about my exceptional experience. This review is long over due my journey is still going but I am not alone with all the staff, Bonnie, Oceania and others plus my girl Dr G. my journey so far has been nothing short of life changing. Thank you with all me heart, Adiel Cline
