Dr Venkatram’s assistant/nurse is wonderful! Communication by video makes appointments a bit harder but Dr V seems to care and really want to help and I do appreciate her seeing me. The first appointment was on time but the subsequent appointment was delayed and I can understand that some run late so that wasn’t a problem. I feel lucky to have found her and her staff.
