The doctor was very knowledgeable he walked me through my CC scan results and my x-ray to show me and explain to me what was going on with my body and to ensure me that this problem could be addressed he was the first one who actually sat down and told me what was wrong with me after going back and forth to a hospital and emergency room for over a year

Should have a great option!

I think dr. Uppal did it good job explaining things to me? I just have absorbed too much information at once and we'll have to call back for them to go over them again with me. I really think they should be written down not for the patient to try to remember three different exams they have to go through.

The doctor was just what I needed. He gave me answers to questions. He allowed me to ask ANY question I had. He was soft spoken and concerned after my health in a personal way. He's just what a doctor should be with a patient. Informative yet compassionate.
