In this time, I have had a series of tests which have uncovered issues that I now get regular treatment and check ups on. I feel that I have a team that is proactive in keeping me in good health. Dr Chandra listens.... then responds. I can communicate with her in Patient Gateway with any and all concerns. Dr Chandra is thorough in her approach... Listening... Questioning... Scheduling tests... Recommending action plans. I honestly feel I am getting the very best in healthcare, and sincerely thank each of you.
