5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Mehla was not my original provider, but has taken over so smoothly that I would gladly recommend her to others (and have done so, occasionally).

5 out of 5 stars

Exceptional doctor - very knowledgeable about my condition.

4 out of 5 stars

I recommend the care provider, but not the use of the virtual visit system. I won't use it again. I will insist on face-to-face visits.

Finally appears I'm assigned to one physician in the practice. (Had seen upwards of 3-4 different doctors in the practice to date.). I also feel like I finally got some answers too and that she talked to me directly.
