Molly D. Magnano, MD - PACIFIC RHEUMATOLOGY ASSOCIATES

I went to see Dr. Magnano for possible steroid injections into my arthritic thumbs. (When Dr. Magnano does this, she gets a wistful look on her face and talks about how she does it for her mom, too. I think I remind her of her mom! I am that old, I guess.) My favorite visit was our first visit: She was going through everything I'd written in my history, asking questions, and then began a hands-on kind of unofficial exam. She had me stand and do this or that - and then started pinching me and it HURT! I began trying to avert her pinches, sprinting around the small office as best I could, but she'd corner me and pinch away. Finally, she stopped pinching and diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. The first few times I was in her office, we did not chit chat too much - she asks a lot of questions and she's getting medical history out of you, but she makes it fun. But then once we got to just talking, she had a lot to say on all sorts of medical topics. She is one sharp doctor. She can take one look at me and tell me where I may need some kind of treatment. And she has a sense of humor.

Dr. Magnano has always had a suggestion to ease my Arthritis pain. She is a caring, thorough doctor. She is very knowledgeable of the medical field & the latest technologies.

Dr. Magnano is very caring and through. She takes time to talk to patients and more importantly listens! Highly recommend her!
