“Dr. Tummala was excellent. She started with a clear verbal consultation and then an examination where she explained each step, and then a clear diagnosis using a drawing to explain everything, and she called in my prescription right away. Friendly staff at the front and for the pre-consult before the Dr. arrived.
Both my wife and I see her and we highly recommend. ”

Dr. Tummala is very caring and has a wonderful bedside manner. I feel I can trust her with my health and receive appropriate care. She is really investigating what the cause of my hearing loss is where as other Dr.s just throw their hands up and say "I can't help you", or "I don't know what's wrong with you, It's all in your head".
