May 17, 2023Tellia W.Verified patient
My first visit to this practice to establish care with Dr. Puja Turakhia was an overall positive experience. The 2 staff members I interacted with were both polite and respectful. Dr. Turakhia was easy to talk with, engaging, thorough in my exam, and helped clarify next steps to address my concerns. She was even helpful in explaining options for lab work as the facility has an OP lab on site. I plan to return for routine care.
