This doctor was very kind and professional and put my 7 yo at ease. I especially appreciated the time she took to interact with my child as the patient and only asked me questions when she needed clarification .

The nurse that started meOut was amazing and thoughtful. I felt I was able to clearly talk about my concerns without any judgment from her at all. She was very warm and welcoming, and gracious through all of it. When the doctor came in, she was also just wonderful. I explained to her my concerns about my health and she listened and gave me some wonderful options that I took her up on and so very grateful for my medical team with you.

Pooja is outstanding. I liked her as a person as well as a medical professional. She was caring, friendly, intelligent, and bright. I would love to have her as a regular provider because she seems to care about me. She spent time asking pertinent questions that gave her information about all the pain and symptoms that have been troubling me. At the same time, I felt that I would very much like to know Pooja as a friend outside of the medical setting so that we could continue our conversations.

Doctor was extremely supportive and informative. I was nervous about starting statins. She took the time to explain med, side effects, and what to expect. She was pleasant and open in her interactions. I would definitely recommend her as a doctor.
