Monica is very thorough & explains things so well. She gives you ample time to ask questions. I appreciate that. She makes me very comfortable.
NP Thurkal is top rate and so lucky to have her assisting in my care.
Monica has always kept me up to date and informed one of the best doctors I've had in years and I'm 71 so that's a lot of doctors
I was very comfortable with Monica. She seemed very knowledgeable.

Thorough
One of the most professional, concerned and thorough medical person I have ever had
I thought Dr. Monica really listened. She set up a counseling appointment for me. When I had some symptoms a few days later she was quick to follow up.
Monica is definitely an upgrade
Great caring, informative and professional Nurse
Monica is always warm and sincere. She is very knowledgeable when answering questions. She also asks questions that help to bring up issues that you may have forgotten to ask yourself. When we left the appointment, we agreed that Monica is very thorough in sharing information and making suggestions.
