I am so happy Dr. Saganski is back from her mat leave. I went to multiple walk in doctors while she was on her mat leave and had such bad experiences. I am so happy i have a family doctor that takes the time to get to know me and really tries to help me with my medical concerns.

I have seen Dr. Patenaude for many years now and have never had a bad experience. Sure she is a busy doctor, but all doctors are.

I had a consult appointment with Dr. Patenaude and before I went to the clinic I read some google reviews. I am not sure why everyone complains about waiting. I always expect to be waiting when I go see any doctor now a days. I waited no longer than 30 minutes and I was sat in a nice clean room where I peacefully read my book until the doctor came to see me.
ED
I was very pleased with how my appointment went. I showed up 10 minutes early prepared to wait however I was seen right away. Dr. Patenaude spent a good time explaining my diagnosis.

I have androgenic alopecia and I received my first PRP treatment from Dr. Patenaude approximately 2 years ago. As a twenty-one-year old woman I was extremely self-conscious about my thin hair, to the point where I felt the need to wear wigs to cover up the fact that you could see almost the entirety of my scalp through my nearly-non-existent hair. I was very nervous going in for my first appointment as I was not sure what to expect and had never had this type of procedure before but the staff at the East St Paul medical centre as well as Dr. Patenaude are very friendly and welcoming and helped me feel at ease. I received 6 PRP treatments over a period of 6 months. As Dr. Patenaude had advised me, I did not see any immediate results however, a year and a half after my final treatment I can conclusively say that this treatment worked for me. Both Dr. Patenaude and I have noticed significant results, to the point where I now no longer feel the need to wear a wig. I would recommend this treatment to anyone with androgenic alopecia as is has made such a positive impact on my life and has drastically improved my confidence!
ST
Dr Patenaude is very caring and only recommends treatment plans or products that will truly help your skin issues. She even talked me out of doing a treatment that I could potentially be unhappy with because of certain characteristics of my skin where other doctors had recommended I jump right into the treatment. She will tell you all of the risks associated and give you all the information upfront that you need to make a decision for your health, which is so important. She is very sincere about recommending and performing only what is necessary and will have your best interest at heart.
AH
The doctor was AMAZING with my son. Highly recommend!

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Patenaude for regular skin checks. My daughter is a very nervous person when it comes to visiting the doctors office, however Dr. Patenaude is very kind, soft spoken and patient with us. She explains everything to my daughter to ensure she is always comfortable.
Peter
I have multiple skin tags to both underarms and my back area. Dr Patenaude treated them the same day as my consultation which was very convenient for me. After a few weeks everything healed up and no remaining tags were left. I could not be happier with the result.

I was sat in a nice clean quiet room while I waited to see Dr. Patenaude. I have always enjoyed seeing Dr. Patenaude as I love to talk and she always spends time listening to me. She heard me talking about a nail issue and gave me great recommendations on how to help the issue. I have never left feeling unheard or rushed.
Jordan
I seen Dr. Patenaude for a mole on my back and at that same appointment i mentioned my hair loss. Before i knew it i was leaving with an appointment to have my mole removed and some prescriptions for my hair loss. I was extremely happy to have both issues taken care of as i know that physicians are very busy!!

Paula
Dr. Szelemej has been my neurologist for over a year now and i finally feel like myself again. Sometimes the wait is long, but once you are seen by him you understand why you waited. He spends lots of time gathering as much detail/history. You can tell her wants to really help instead of just following a guideline of what he should do.
Brian
Dr Patenaude saw me 2 months ago for my dermatitis. The creams she prescribed have already improved the area by 90%!!! I am so grateful to have a doctor that was finally able to help me with my long term skin issues.
NP
I had a mole removed on my leg at the clinic a few years ago. The clinic was very clean which made me happy knowing that the place I am having a minor procedure done was kept very clean.
James W.
I had an appointment today with Dr. Patenaude and didn’t have to wait at all. It was a very smooth appointment!

Ursula
I received a call from Dr. Patenaude’s office checking in to see how i was doing after using a medication. During the call i realized i was using the medication incorrectly as i didn’t read the prescription well enough. Thank goodness they called and clarified how to use the prescription!
Gerald
I seen Dr. Patenaude and was started on a regimen for my psoriasis. Dr. Patenaude explained all the medications in detail to me however being the old guy i am i had a hard time remembering everything. I called the clinic two days after and was transferred to Dr. Patenaude’s clinic assistant where she took the time to explain all the medication again to me while my daughter was here to make notes for me.
Rob M
I always book my appointment with front desk staff Taylor. She is always pleasant and very helpful scheduling my appointments and making sure all of my paperwork is filled out correctly.
Jaspreet S
I had a move removed on my back a few months ago and was very nervous. I think i called the front desk about 10 times to ask a bunch of questions. All my questions were answered and the staff never seemed annoyed with my calls. During the procedure the doctor explained everything to me and helped calm my nerves. The procedure was very quick and not painful at all!
Jamie
I have seen Dr. Patenaude for a few years now to help with my skin cancer. She does such a good job and making sure I use a good medical sunscreen. She always asks about my family and is overall a kind doctor.

I have gotten all my covid-19 vaccines from the clinic. I am always explained what vaccine i am receiving and any symptoms i may experience. The staff are very gentle and always calm my nerves. I would recommend going to this clinic for any vaccines.

Dr Paul is wonderful. He took his time getting a full history of my issues. He is caring and empathetic. I would strongly recommend getting a referral to see him. He is the kindest doctor.
Sandra
I have seen Dr. Patenaude for years and have never had to wait more than 30 minutes to see her. I don’t know why people complain about wait times.
George
I waited a few months to see Dr. Patenaude for a skin tag on my neck. She came into the room and examined my skin tag and mentioned she could freeze it off that same day if I wanted. I decided to go ahead and have it frozen off which has now left my neck skin tag free.
Jodie
Dr. Saganski is one of the kindest family doctors I have ever had.
Frank
I got a biopsy done in November. This was booked shortly after I was initially seen and I got my results fast. It really eased my mind that I was taken care of so quickly and efficiently.
Devin
I seen Dr. Patenaude regarding a rash on my legs. Yes there was a little bit of a wait to get the appointment which my family doctor explained is expected when seeing a specialist. Once I got the appointment and seen her she prescribed me medications that helped significantly. I do not have the urge to scratch the area anymore and the rash is almost cleared up. I thank Dr. Patenaude for helping me feel confident wearing shorts again!!

I can’t say enough about the skills and compassion of Dr. Szelemej. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without this referral. He has changed my life and possibly saved my career. Thank God for Dr. Szelemej.

Another regular checkup with Dr. Patenaude who keeps my skin healthy after surgically removing skin cancer . She is highly skilled, efficient, knowledgeable and caring . An excellent doctor.
ST
I do recommend this clinic based on the fact that I have gotten stellar service and I know Dr Patenaude has my best interests at heart.
KD
The staff are knowledgeable and friendly and always make time to answer any questions. I got a chemical peel done and the treatment was exactly what my skin needed. I left feeling pampered and glowing. Thank you to Sara the tech who did my peel and to Dr. Patenaude for giving back to her loyal customers.
AT
I have always been pleased with my service with Dr Patenaude. I have found her to always be within 15 minutes of my scheduled appointment time and she really does explain things well. I wanted a filler at one point and she even talked me out of it, insisting that I didn’t need it yet. I’m glad she did, because she was right. I find her and Carris very skillful and professional, the clinic is spotless and I have no problem recommending her to my friends and family.
LT
Got my first chemical peel and it was such a nice treat for my face! It feels so smooth and my face looked great right after…no redness nor any weird ugly spots…not how I envisioned a “chemical” peel to be like. No pain, and they used all high-end Zein Obagi products.
CL
I love the staff here, they are always so friendly and helpful. The building is beautiful and clean. Many great products to choose from. She is so great and helps with any questions or needs you may have. Dr Patenaude is very professional and knows how to give wonderful, natural looking results.

EM
Great place. Lovely staff. Clean and professional. My laser facial helped me feel more like myself.
TW
I had a skin discoloration near my temple; I went down and had Carris and Dr. Patenaude take a look and perform corrective action. It was quick, easy, and well it worked! A+
LT
I’m not sure what people are complaining about. I’ve had great experiences there with the staff and Dr. Patenaude. She takes her time with each patient and is thorough and I am understanding to the fact she may not be always on time as I know the care she puts forth and doesn’t rush through patients. So if I have to wait to see her after having a specific appointment time that’s the price I pay knowing she has my back and those of her patients. If you are lucky enough to get her as a doctor then there will be times she can’t see you “on time.
SB
Dr Saganski is awesome. She seems like a genuinely caring person. Most importantly, she does not brush over my health concerns or questions.
