Dr. Tirunahari is amazing, and I was very pleased with her care at my appointment. The person who answered and scheduled my appointment was so nice and helpful also. But the assistant or nurse, not sure who she was, was very unprofessional and her prolonged talking made me feel uncomfortable. She spent a lot of time talking about herself, and I was not feeling well, so it became a lot to deal with. She then came to the desk with the person who was there making my follow up appointment. She was actually asking my husband questions about him at that point. I am sharing this feedback because I otherwise had a very positive experience with the practice and hope this information may be helpful.
