“I have a lot going on with my health. It’s refreshing to finally get all the issues on the table and determine what is connected and what needs more testing. I hope I can stick to the refi mines that are being suggested, but I’m happy we are addressing things and going a positive direction. ”

“I was able to see Dr. T in a convenient, less than a week, timeframe rather than the 4-1/2 month wait with a previous provider. I was able to get help for my current needs and begin planning for my future health goals. At this point, I'm totally happy with Dr. T. Thanks!”

Initial intake was very pleasant. I rarely ever have had enough time with a provider to lay out my complex situation, but this was generous and looking forward to moving forward.

I had a great appointment. I always feel very judged by doctors because of my weight. It came up but only in passing as something to be aware of. The rest of the time was going over actual history concerns and my gender which I so appreciated. No doctor has ever asked me outright about my goals with gender presentation. I am so happy with my visit and feel really good about continuing the doctor/patient relationship with Dr. Thambuswamy.

Dr Thambuswamby is the one to see if you like feeling like a priority. I feel like I’m cared for as a whole person and my concerns are always met with insight and I never feel dismissed.

She was very kind, considerate, respectful, and a good listener. I was able to see her in a timely fashion to get my perscription refilled. She was also very helpful and directed me to an app for exercises to help my post op nerve pain. Overall very friendly and easy to talk to.

I was so excited to hear that Dr. Thambuswamy opened a new practice. She was previously my doctor and I have always had a very positive experience with her. One of the things I really appreciate about her is that even when I have given up and just accepted that a medical issue is unsolvable, she convinces me to try something new and reminds me that quality of life is worth the effort - that I don't have to just perpetually tolerate somwthing that is bothering me. She is a great listener and provides great thought partnership and expertise to help me reach my health goals.
