Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Puri is one of the best doctors I have encountered in my cancer journey and in fact all contact with health professionals. She took the time to establish rapport and explained everything slowly and in detail and did not mind me asking questions. This was a new experience in the medical system and filled me with hope and confidence. I wish all doctors and nurses can learn from her. Her approach increases adherence and positive patient outcomes.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2025-01-12

Patient verified via Press Ganey

Dr Puri was well prepared for our appointment and it was obvious she had studied the incoming records and scans I had provided. She addressed all my concerns one by one and modified the start time as well as my future chemo treatment plan based on those concerns. I feel extremely comfortable with her ability to provide the high level of care I was searching for.
