Dr. Mutua is probably the first PCP I've gone to that has made me feel truly listened to and understood. She patiently listened to my laundry list of concerns and addressed each one, and she was very sensitive to what I was open/not open to trying in terms of diagnostics and follow-up appointments. Very much recommend her.
