Everybody was so pleasant and kind! Dr. Sunkara is extremely personable, clear in his instructions, and in answering my questions. Jayme was also very friendly and efficient. It was nice to be greeted with smiles by the ladies at the desk. It was such a positive experience, that I almost regret not having to come back! Thanks to all.
I have had a medical issue for almost 2 years and none of the other GI doctors I saw really cared about it didn't t listen and offered no treatment. Dr. Sunkara took the time to really listen was very caring and explained to me exactly what was going on. He gave me a treatment plan and hope for a future of wellness. I highly recommend him!!!
From the person that answered the phone to the receptionist to the nurse to the doctor was one of the best experiences I have had at an office. I have tried 2 other offices and was not happy. This was an awesome experience!!! Thank you!
