Rating & Reviews
She always takes the time, never do I feel rushed when talking with her. She is extremely knowledgeable about what we're going through and makes it easy to talk about. She should give lessons on bed side manners with children. I think she is one of the best. We were lucky to get her as one of our doctors. Thank you again for all you do. It is greatly and deeply appreciated.
I was very impressed the team and how the appt was ran!
Paola Genovese was extremely kind and informative when speaking to my daughter. She explained that my daughter could say no at any time she didn't feel comfortable, and I really appreciated that. I think there needs to be more people in this field at Phoenix childrens because the acupuncture and slight massage really helped my daughter's pain level.
Dr Genovese is really a great doctor and an asset to Phoenix children's.
Love Dr. G, she listens well and has lots of ideas for us to control my son's pain and issues.

They were thoughtful, caring, focused, and fun! I loved everything about this visit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Today you lifted me, so that I can be a good lifter for my child. Your positivity and professionalism spoke volumes for what healthcare can and should be.
