Patient verified via Press Ganey

In an environment where doctors and nurses are forced to see patients with time limit constraints, Dr Handa sat and listened to my concerns and took time with me. She had the best side manner and was very knowledgeable and explained everything to me. With most MD appts I feel rushed, with Dr Handa I felt listened to and felt her concern was true.
