Dr. Papa is a great doctor. She takes the time to explain issues and provide assistance. She will take the time to call instead of a sending message. I am happy to have found her to be my doctor. The staff is friendly.

November 22, 2025
Dr. Papa was wonderful. She had reviewed the notes in my file and took time to listen to concerns I had on my own list. There seemed confusion with scheduling...not her area. I scheduled this appointment a year ago, at the conclusion of my 2024 Wellness visit, but received several prompts throughout the intervening 12 months to "schedule my annual wellness appointment." I chose to ignore them, but was puzzled.

Helpful and professional
November 20, 2025
Dr. Papa was very friendly and really listened to my concerns but was not overbearing. After three doctors leaving Endeavor over the past three years, I was a bit skeptical. However, I liked her bedside manner and think she's something who could be a good medical care thought partner. I hope she doesn't leave Endeavor, too!

Dr. Papa was kind and really listen to my concerns. She explained things well and was willing to refer me to get blood work done as well as helped me schedule an appointment withOBGYN when I mentioned I was planning to get pregnant. After my blood work appointment, Dr. Papa reached out to me in a timely manner to explain the result and schedule a follow-up lab work when she concerns about my anemia. I feel like she truly care about me
