Review for Dr. Puthenveetil

Despite multiple positive tests they were per her expert opinion not positive enough and I was instructed to return when I was sicker. I for one do not believe in the waiting game with an illness. Her office will not treat you and any attempts at follow up will be seen as you wasting their time. I...
