Dr. Funari went above the level of care I expected for a routine follow up visit. She bothered to look up and discuss with me a study of a vitamin treatment for migraine headaches affecting vision that she thought might be helpful for me and posted It to MyChart. As soon as I figure out how to access the study on MyChart (no success so far) I will read it and discuss it with the doctor treating me for migraines.

KUDOS to Dr. Funari! She went above and beyond treating my serious eye illness. She even consulted with the in-house glaucoma physician in order to provide me with the very beset treatment.

Honestly I wish Dr. Funari could provide all of my care. She is exceptional in her patient care, talking me through two conditions I cope with, discussing various options, and facilitating a care plan. In a realm where so many doctors can't be bothered, Dr. Funari is a standout. I actually feel confident making health decisions with her and trust her judgement 100%. She is fantastic.
