1st visit with Dr. Palekar. She impressed as quite knowledgeable and had a great bedside manner. She carefully reviewed the history of my problem, meds that worked and those that didn't. To diagnose the root cause of my chronic condition, she ordered tests that previously had not been done. So I'm extremely satisfied with the visit and am hopeful.
