I was really desperate because I am having lots of fatigue and joint and bone pain, and Summa could not see me until 2/18. I reached out to the Clinic and Anthony answered the phone, and was really wonderful. Five minutes later, I had an appointment with a wonderful doctor, and I'll have my surgery done and be on the road to recovery before Summa would even see me!

I was very impressed with Dr. Avadhanula. She was very personable, but very professional. I love having women doctors, and she was so nice and so smart. I felt like she was really going to be thorough and work on an accurate diagnosis. I had researched hyperparathyroidism a lot, and I knew what she was telling me was up to date and that she was very knowledgeable. She also communicated things very clearly, and I did not feel rushed at all and had time to ask my questions.
Reviewed on Jan 4, 2021
I have really been singing the Clinic's praises from this whole experience. I felt like Summa did not care about my symptoms or about getting me in earlier, and the Clinic sees me as a person and cares about getting me helped as soon as possible. I already have an appointment next Tuesday morning with Dr. Shin, my endocrine surgeon, and am excited to be working on this and getting it behind me. I am very grateful for this level of care.
