What our patients say
Ianne
It’s been most hectic and toxic both at work and my personal life. I’ve had the opportunity of experiencing Dr. P’s expertise during my stay. See, pushing 40, I have never gone to a doctor, never subjected myself to a check up. I had all the reasons and all the excuses but mainly because I was uncomfortable with the thought. Somehow, Dr. P was the only one who made me feel differently. She didn’t just walk me thru it, she practically held my hand thru the entire process. It was her sincerity to help me recover, her passion for wellness and her eagerness to empower me thru awareness of my physical, mental and emotional health that changed my entire perspective on doctors. I now look forward to my next visit. I went back home recharged, positive and well beyond words. I can only hope that there be more doctors of the same breed who hold up the true essence of healing.

Having completed this survey after giving birth, I can honestly say had it not been for this class and Dr. Patty’s encouragement, I would have been very stressed and worried about giving natural birth at home. This entire experience was wonderful and incredibly educational for both me and my husband. Even though this was our fourth baby, this was a brand new experience that we gained so much from. I can’t express in words how grateful we are to Dr. Patty and this class! It truly made all the difference in our birthing experience! Everyone should have a birth like this!

Dr. Petralba is wonderful. I do not say that lightly. I am someone who avoids going to the doctor for as long as possible. I don’t enjoy how most providers want to treat symptoms instead of getting to the root cause and heal the body. Dr. Petralba was clear from the beginning: let’s dig into this to find the root cause (so very appreciated). She was very thorough and asked many questions to get a better understanding of the whole picture, my whole self. I very much appreciated her approach of incorporating traditional medicine and the mind-body connection as well as modern, Western medicine. I’m so grateful to have found such a caring, well-rounded, holistically minded doctor to provide my medical care.

Dr. Petralba charges me directly for the services I need without going through unrealistically priced insurance companies and all the traditional medical hoops. She is available by text, phone, or video call and listens to help make recommendations that I can choose from to deal with the root cause of my concerns. Thank you Dr. Petralba!

Dr Petralba is caring and kind. I never feel hurried or pushed by her and I always feel heard. I will not go back to big box medical clinics ever again and I prefer this type of individualized care that focuses on me as a whole person, not just the current symptoms.

Dr. P is caring, professional and knowledgeable. She listens to you and gives you practical and helpful guidance.
Tammy
Dr. Petralba is amazing. I love the personal time she gives to me as her patient. She listens to my concerns and helps me see all my health options. She follow ups with me periodically to make sure I am healthy and happy. She is the perfect doctor for me. I love her office and feel as if I’m in a pampered spa rather than a doctor’s office. I am blessed to have found Dr. Petralba and Thrive Life Center PLLC.

I was seeking a different style of medical care and Dr. Petralba was exactly what I needed. Appointments are personalized, caring, and…as long or as frequent as you need. I never feel rushed with Dr. P. We take time to discuss my concerns and questions and she always has considerate approaches and recommendations based on me as a whole person – and based on her understanding of and training in integrative medicine. I’m able to text her or email with a follow-up question without feeling like I’m being a bother. Especially during the stay-at-home order, having that additional virtual touchpoint when needed has been so helpful! I sought out Dr. P due to some chronic pain issues but have also found her to be an excellent primary care physician, which I also needed and really appreciate. I can come to her with anything and really value being welcomed, comfortable, and at ease under her care. Also – this is the absolute loveliest medical office I’ve ever been in. I’d highly recommend Dr. Petralba to anyone looking for a primary care physician who really does care.

Thrive Life Center is amazing! It has really helped remain sane, especially when working a full-time job, a part-time job, and going to grad school. Dr. Petralba is a great listener and always provides great recommendations. I love that acupuncture and natural alternatives are always an option for treatment as opposed to only having the option of western medicine. I highly recommend Thrive Life Center!
