Review for Dr. Trecartin

I've seen many Drs but Dr Grandhe is remarkably different. He genuinely cares and has patience for all my questions. He explained thorough with explanations and is personable. In addition to being respectful, he is professional and knowledgable. Thank you for taking the time to help us in our time...

Review for Dr. Grandhe

Dr Rayala was very attentive, a good listener. Explained her point of view very clearly concerning my condition. I have a lot of confidence in her knowledge and capability. This was my first appointment with her, so time will tell. A good start.
