Patient Reviews

  • "The follow up visit was pleasant. Staff is friendly and helpful. A very nice facility. I just felt the interaction I had with Dr Vivekanandarajah may have been rushed possibly because she had other patients waiting. Although overall the doctor explained the test results assuring me that everything was good and my blood work was stable."
