      Dr Goundan is amazing. So many adjectives to describe her - personable, professional, organized, thorough, compassionate, knowledgeable. Dr Goundan took the time to listen to me, complete a thorough assessment, and explain options/next steps. I am so blessed to have her as my provider

      The doctor was extremely thorough even though my condition is "boring (as defined by me)," she had scads of information and detail to impart for my condition and care going forward. Top notch!
