Dr Tiruneh's approach and commitment to preventing illness was / Is exceptional. He spoke with me in a way that I've never experience before. That is, he listened respectfully and he shared about his views in a way that made him very approachable. His enthusiasm for supporting wellness rather than simply coming up with recommendations drugs or whatever AFTER an illness happens was EXACTLY what health care providers should be doing. PLEASE do all you can to support him and his practice. You are fortunate to have him working at your clinic.
