She was amazing

5 out of 5 stars

I loved Dr Tunitsky. She was caring, explained everything very well, discussed my condition thoroughly and answered all of my questions. I didn't feel rushed at all. In these current times it is not uncommon to wait a long time for the Dr to come in - and then feel totally rushed when they do come in. Dr Tunitsky was the opposite - and really did stand out as one of the best doctors I e seen in a long time

The staff that I've had starting with Dr. Tunitsky-Bitton are the best. They have been outstanding for a number of years.

It did seem like the nurse who did the test was being trained by the other nurse. That was not explained to me at any point.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Elizabeth Sappenfield went over a complex surgery - clearly we discussed options. She took the time to explain to my husband & I how and why she will switch this surgery to a different method in a later phone call - after the appointment we were impressed with her thoughts and concerns.

5 out of 5 stars

Melissa, nurse, was very attentive to my problem. She was patient, concerned, and very knowledgeable of my condition. I had a very good appointment and left the office very satisfied with my visit.
