“NP Nikita Bala was extremely thorough in her analysis of my information, as I saw her for medical clearance for tennis elbow surgery. She really took the time to review my information, explained the numbers about my test results, you could see her genuine concern for her patient and she answered a few more questions about my thinning hair (not pertaining to the visit).||Grade A+++ for her!”

Nikita is probably the best provider I have ever seen. As someone who has multiple chronic illnesses, I am used to researching, fighting, and advocating for myself constantly. Feeling like I have to have a laundry list of documentation to prove my symptoms after being dismissed and blown off by countless providers. I was prepared, armed and ready with data and ready to advocate, but I didn’t need to. It was such a relief, and her care actually made me cry of joy. I can’t even explain the horrible doctors I have seen in the past, especially with going to at least 4 appointments a week. I usually leave so upset because I was so dismissed, or they stopped looking for a cause because everything came back “normal.” I was actually able to let my guard down and be a “normal” patient.
