    All of my doctors, nurses, their clinical teams, and their non-medical staff are amazing. In Dr. Shrestha's case, she's exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and truly caring about her patients. I am fortunate to have her as my rheumatologist, and would happily recommend her to anyone. She's top-notch, and an asset to her patients and her employer.

    She's awesome. It's just too bad she works with Optum. I'd love to keep seeing her but I don't want to have to deal with Optum's terrible services.
