“It was straight to the point, which is what I needed and wanted. I had a clear objective for the visit, and Dr. Aruna provided that. Luckily my issue is not uncommon and the fix is really just PT. After doing a quick history review and physical, he went over the findings on my xray, he provided me with a referral and specific items the PT should focus on when I go to them, which was very helpful. He also directed me to a resource that focused on exercises that are helpful for my condition. ”

July 16, 2024Kirill K.Verified patient
Dr. Seneviratne is awesome! He is very calming and alleviated my anxiety immediately (I am a nervous patient and always alert new health care providers to this fact.) He explained every thoroughly and diagnosed my knee issue in about 30 seconds and handed me a list of PT providers close to me. As wonderful as my visit was, I hope I don't have to go back because not going back would mean my knee has healed!
