It was a very comfortable and positive experience. My provider gave me time to explain what was going on, I was never rushed. They also were very patient and attentive. I was very happy with getting in and out quickly but still had time to discuss my worries and concerns. Love ?? my care provider and professional level they provided.

Dipaula, was kind and gentle towards me. She has a hands on approach that made me feel comfortable and cared for. She wasn't afraid to sympathize with me and reassured me things are going to get better. Her approach to my care made me feel important and a person who she cared about and cared for. We need more people like her in the healthcare care profession.

The provider is always patient, timely, and very detail-orientated, and I don't feel like I'm being rushed doing my appointment. I've been coming to the same provider now for the last 16 years.

Thank you, your professional and caring service is most appreciated .
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/19/2025
This is only the second time that I've seen Francesca, both times while Margaret Dermer was on maternity leave. Francesca treats me like one of her own patients even though she is filling in for Margaret. I know part of it is her reading my records, but she remembers details from the last time she saw me as well. I can't speak highly enough about both of your N.P.s

my wife and I absolutely love Francesca! Having come from a previous doctor (Kushner from Reisterstown Mercy, who was disrespectful and mean to my wife), she is a breath of fresh air. She is so friendly and sweet and kind. We absolutely love her!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/12/2025
My provider is very easy to schedule and reschedule with. They're all very friendly and the office is nice and I would certainly recommend them to any of my family or friends.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/7/2025
My husband and I have been with this office since late 2022 and we would not change for any other medical facility. Medical staff are outstanding, the front desk staff are professional, knowledgeable and make you feel welcome as soon as you approach the desk. I would be very disappointed if Dr Vento closed his office and I have recommended him, his medical and professional staff to every one when the subject of medical care comes up in a conversation. I have family members who are now new patients and it makes me happy to know they will be taken care of by a kind, welcoming medical staff.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 12/7/2025

I adore Francesca and her staff. They're always very considerate, very nice, positive, and they just take care of you right away, no matter what's going on. I would give all of them a 10, a 15. They're excellent, excellent people to go to when you don't feel good. And they give you all the feedback you ask for, all you need. I wouldn't go to anybody else.

Ladies at the front desk were not Friendly and Professional I was not happy about that at all they were all talking together and not playing attention to the patient when leaving

Francesca is always wonderful! Great listener, very knowledgeable, and always so positive and caring!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/15/2025
The provider was very nice and sympathetic. I only have 2 complaints... I waited in the exam room for a good 40 minutes before the provider came in. I was there for a sick visit and sat in the warm exam room in a lot of pain while I waited. Then she prescribed me an antibiotic but didn't send it right over to the pharmacy but rather waited until the end of the day to send to my pharmacy. Usually when Dr Vento sends a rx to my pharmacy it is sent within 5 minutes of him leaving the exam room.

The entire staff is awesome!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 11/7/2025
This was an emergent visit and I was grateful to be squeezed into their busy practice. Francesca tx. me with compassion and respect. She is confident and friendly in her interactions, reassuring me with her described plan of action, including a call back if unimproved at end of med. regime. She now sees one of my family as a result of an earlier great impression. impression.

Francesca is kind, empathetic, and genuinely cares about how you're doing. Her bed side manner is top notch. She makes you feel at ease and as if you're her only patient, and not just a number.

Wonderful office with great people.

I absolutely love Francesca DiPaula, she's very knowledgeable. However, I do feel that, in general, the doctors at LifeBridge are lacking. I always feel like no matter what type of doctor I'm seeing that I am always diagnosing myself. It's very frustrating.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 9/7/2025
Francesca Dipaula ALWAYS treats my wife and I extremely well. She has changed my life. We feel like she is family. Always looking out for our best interest. I always brag about Francesca to anyone who will listen. She is the best. Count your blessings in having a wonderful person on your staff.

While my experience there was great, I was told I'd receive prescription at my pharmacy but it was not sent until the following day. It's usually ready within a few hours but I had to wait overnight for my medication.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/17/2025
The assistant shut the door to the exam room so hard that a child's painting fell off the wall and almost hit me in the head. That is all everything else was great.

I didn't get to see Dr. Vento this time as he was fully booked. But his PA took wonderful care of me during my emergency. Couldn't have asked for nicer or sweeter and was beyond kind. The entire office is wonderful. Great experience!

This was my first visit and I already felt like I was a valued patient.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/7/2025
Parking is terrible!! Went to the pharmacy about 1.5 hours after Dr. visit and scripts had not been called in. I called the Dr's. office and one of the two was then sent to the pharmacy; I tried getting through to the dr's office approx. 10 times and could not get a person. I waited another 45 minutes at the pharmacy and never did get the second script. Since I live about 12 miles away from the pharmacy, I wanted the scripts BEFORE leaving Westminster. This has never been the case in the past.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 8/2/2025
Dr. DIPAULA, was very courteous and I felt very comfortable with her as my primary Dr. She listened to my concerns about my health and was very Professional. The whole staff was courteous and friendly. Felt very comfortable with everyone there. Thanks {patient info redacted to protect privacy}

I love Francesca, compassionate, understanding able to see things from my perspective. She listened! She heard me! She didn't treat me like I was less than her she was respectful and every time I've dealt with her she's been kind and respectful. She's the healthcare provider I didn't know I needed. Francesca's helping me figure out what's been going on in my body. She has been a godsend to me. I feel like I'm finally getting back on track.

Since I switched to Dr. Vento's office and Francesca DiPaula CRNP is my primary I have had nothing but good things to say about Dr. Vento's practice. I wish I had switched earlier but now I am on to having the care I deserve as a senior citizen.

They were able to change the time of my appt last minute because I made a scheduling mistake They took me back early, and I was out half an hour after my appt time started, even with multiple tests being done. Dipaula was very friendly, thorough, and knowledgeable about my medical history, as always. I have recommended this office to other people in my area.
