I liked the Dr.
Thank you for good treatment.
Yes thank you….
Always well organized and professional
Super great
The team at the advanced wound care clinic are simply outstanding. Everyone treats you like a person with a health problem versus a health problem with a person. The checkin staff are efficient and empathetic. The nurses are kind and thoughtful-they understand that treatment of a wound is stressful and painful and so they are sensitive in all ways they deal with you. The doctor (Arya) is a very good communicator and listener. She takes the time to hear what I have to say and work with me on solutions. She is not threatened by my asking questions.
Dr. Arya was carefully taken care of my wound. Much appreciated.
Excellent Dr. Arya.
