    I had an issue previously and I don't feel my clinician listened to me - I ended up seeing another specialist who agreed that my issue was not caused by a medication I was on, which was the diagnosis of my clinician. I brought this up at my visit and it was glossed over.

    I appreciated the time she spent with me since I had some new concerning issues beyond my blood pressure. She was careful to ask a series of questions to try and arrive at a diagnosis.

    Dr. Narnedra is the best doctor I've ever had. Personal, knowledgeable, caring, and asks good questions. On my last visit, I showed her a problem I had with my foot. I thought it was maybe a wart, but she said it was a callus and referred me to the Podiatrist. I saw the Podiatrist 2 days later and the delightful Nurse Practiioner removed my calluses and an annoying corn. My feet are so delighted!

    Any risks of hernia surgery were not related to me, but Narendra had an excellent grasp of the risks of my not getting surgery.

    I didn't mind getting a call prior to my appointment to get status, meds checked, etc. I figured that I would then just say I'm here at the front desk. Didn't know I would have to do your work for you. It takes away jobs
