September 10, 2024Nuala W.Verified patient
Visit was fine. Didn't seem like she was connecting the dots much. Didn't ask much about current medication or provide guidance on upcoming blood work without me asking. Didn't explain what could be happening or how the hormones I was asking about work or fluctuate, which was disappointing.
September 4, 2024Kerianne W.Verified patient
Dr Puar listened well and explained instructions, and provided information on primary and secondary possible causes for referral and course of actions to explore. Was comfortable discussing concerns and even how anxiety provoking these visits are for me. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

It was my first appointment with this doctor and I have no complaints, everything went smoothly and she seems understanding about all of my concerns although she is continuing with my previous treatment from a different endocrinologist and had nothing new to suggest, which sometimes a new doctor has options for better results.
July 15, 2024Omi M.Verified patient
She was nice enough but didn't help me at all and didn't try to work with me to figure out why I was experiencing certain symptoms, she just made a 6mo check in appointment. Won't go back.
