Dr. Pulling is a brilliant diagnostician and she combines that with an engaging, caring approach. That combination is the best I've ever seen in the medical community. She was brought appropriate urgency to the situation as warranted. That relieved my anxiety about possible worst-case outcomes. I'm extremely grateful that she fit me into her busy schedule. I'm not at all surprised that she is so busy, because she is the best doctor I could have possibly seen. Thank you, so much, Dr. Pulling, on behalf of myself, my friends and my family. You are my hero!

Dr. Pulling is caring and listens...she seems overbooked...it is hard to see her in person and I am trying to get to know her; had a colonoscopy and she said see her in 3 months...it was a year and three months later...and my other doctors explained the results of my colonoscopy...i am used to having labs every 3 months to monitor drugs I am taking to keep my disease in remission...a year and three months is too long...will continue with her and hope we get into a routine to keep me healthy...the office and staff are great!!
