Life changing. That's the best way to describe Dr. Dada. She's quite literally changed my life. It was a scary time when I first saw Dr. Dada. I was getting migraines every day, I was dizzy and NO ONE seemed to understand what I was going through. That is...until I met Dr. Dada. No other doctors spent the time to listen and work tirelessly to find a solution. She wasn't about just prescribing some medicine and getting you out the door. Her approach went beyond just a prescription. She really drills down to the root causes and finds the best solution for you long term. Dr. Dada isn't going to sugarcoat anything. She's going to be honest but she will NOT give up on anyone....read full review
SIMPLY the BEST! I continue to have an excellent connection to the office of Dr. Dorothy Dada & her entire staff. I want to give a major shout-out to SANDRA in her office. Sandra went the extra mile with a sense of urgency to help me get my migraine meds refilled yesterday after I had some roadblocks outside of her office. All is well now. I also want to commend Dr. Dada for tailoring an easy protocol for me to follow with migraine care. Catch it early before it accelerates. Her tips, guidance and care have made a HUGE difference in my health. THANK YOU, Sandra & Dr. Dada, you both are a 10/10. Abrazos.
I had an excellent visit with Dr. Dada—she is attentive, thorough, and knowledgeable. My rating reflects the office/administrative side: no appointment confirmation, repeated unanswered calls on two different days when I tried to call and check if the appointment was confirmed, and slow MyChart response times (auto-reply cites up to 11 business days (!); one of mine took about a week). For time-sensitive questions, faster portal responses—and, especially for new patients not on the portal, the ability to actually talk to someone on the phone, or at least leave a message— would make a big difference.
