Dr Das is excellent. I wish she could be my primary care physician.
My experience with my provider was satisfactory. However, I feel that punctuality and allowing adequate time for appointments are important. While I appreciate her patience, spending ample time with each patient is crucial for effective communication and care.
Dr. Das was wonderful. I would recommend her to anybody that I know going to a dermatologist. She explains things, she listens. I am very happy with her.
Dr. Das was incredibly friendly and kind. She made me feel comfortable during the exam. I would highly recommend her to others.
Dr Das is everything you could want in a provider. Human.
