Review for Dr. Echo

I found her by accident when I was in rehab for some vertebrae fractures and ribs broken. Her bedside manner is sublime. Since I had moved to the area I was looking for internal medicine doctor. She is such a Godsend who cares about all her patients.

Review for Dr. Machineni

As the family member of Dr Attar’s patient, I am so pleased and comforted by his attention to my son, and respect for me as his advocate. I am always present at the appointments and Dr Attar makes it known that I am important in the care and recovery of this patient. Even though we live outside...
