      Dr. Krishnamurthy listens, asks good questions to learn more, includes my input in his treatment plan and always asks if I have any questions. He is a wonderful care provider. He also had a student with him this day and he was a great teacher.

      My provider listened carefully to what I was saying and throughly answered all the questions that I had been waiting to ask in regards to my stroke without making me feel like I was asking the wrong questions
