Dr. Arellano was absolutely fantastic. She was very friendly and spent so much time helping me understand what was happening and potential diagnoses and corresponding treatments. I never felt rushed and she was extremely patient and attentive when it came to our all questions. She had been super prompt and communicative since my visit and I hope I can continue working with her.
