Testimonials

  • Pain and Palliative Associates (PPA) has been an amazing asset to our institution and intensive care (ICU) multidisciplinary rounds (MDR). They are comprised of fellowship-trained physicians and advanced care practitioners with years of experience. PPA has allowed for advanced care planning to become an integral part of our MDR rounds; from pain management, to family meetings, as well as to goals of care discussions that span their whole hospital stay. Patients and patients’ families have benefited from their daily presence and continued commitment to excellence in care. In surgery and critical care, one of the core principles is trust- I completely trust PPA team.

  • "I have personally worked with Drs. Patel and Bennin for several years now. Their experience in managing ICU level patients with terminal disease processes is exceptional. They are incredibly proficient in understanding what exactly the ICU teams require and initiate appropriate interventions in a timely fashion. Simply put they are a tremendous asset to any physician group in managing complex patients and their families"
