Dr. Paul Lapenna, DO

My wife presented with odd symptoms that were actually seizures. It was recognized and treated promptly. She is now back to full health.

Just saw him in the ER myself. I had been hospitalized for four days for neurological symptoms before he saw me and had been being treated. He and his nurse practitioner saw me and labeled my symptoms as “distractable.” I told them both I was doing better and had already been seen by several providers agreeing with my symptoms but was essentially brushed to the side and told I had conversion disorder. The strength testing they did was not even appropriate for someone of my functional level. As a physical therapist myself I am insulted by this treatment and will be going to outpatient neurology and hopefully be taken seriously. This isn’t 1850 and you can’t label every young woman with symptoms you can’t immediately explain as “hysterical”

Dr. Lappenna gives me tlc and great advice to take care of my neuropathy. He also was very detailed and persuasive when it came to my SSI and I was finally approved.

I had a cerebral stroke and had Dr. LaPenna as my neurologist at St Francis Hospital downtown Greenville Then, I saw him at his office. I could not be more pleased with his care. His suggestions were great. His staff took good care of me.

I have severe migraines that have not responded to any treatments as of yet, Dr LaPenna has taken the time to work with with to come up with a plan to get back to feeling better and getting back to a normal life.
