The location of the facility was convenient with plentiful parking spaces. Tanya, the doctor's office assistant was friendly. And Dr. Vemury was pleasant, honest, and made me feel comfortable. That was important to me as a first time visitor/new patient. I've made the decision to make Dr. Vemury my primary care physician. I really liked the fact she was interested in learning about me so I can become healthier.
