Dr. Ponnila Marinescu is an amazing provider, she was extremely attentive, clear, gave thorough explanation of the upcoming procedure. I left the visit feeling very confident that everything was going to go well. During the actual procedure she made sure I was informed every step of the way and understood next steps. So far everything has gone as expected with recovery and I was prepared for what to expect.

Dr. M. and Dr. Rao were so kind and compassionate. If I lived closer I would want them as my provider.
