On the last Sunday of October 2021, I was in the process of packing up my 5 bedroom 2 bath house for an open house the following weekend. I woke up with a cough that wouldn’t quit and extreme fatigue. By the evening, I was miserable, too fatigued to even consider driving myself to the ER, so I used the cell # provided to me as an MDVIP patient of Dr. Douglas Pinto. He answered within 2 rings, told me he thought I had breakthrough Covid, and suggested that I get a home test and call him back: My daughter drove an hour to bring me a test, administered it and Dr Pinto was right… it was Covid. Fortunately, the cough disappeared, it became more of a cold, and the fatigue gradually subsided and I was able to continue packing up my house for sale moved to a week later. Being over 70, living alone, it’s important to me to have quick access to medical care. Dr Pinto provides the most thorough physical examination; with a 90 minute follow examination and explanation of test results. I am grateful for being able to continue under Dr Pinto’s practice. Most people don’t believe that I am almost 78. I took a part time job in a hair salon a few days a week to stay active, as well as interacting with other people. I credit my good health to Dr Pinto’s encouragement to continue to stay active, eat healthy, and get regular checkups with him.
