I felt heard and understood by Dr. GATUMU. I felt comfortable discussing difficult events and my fears were quickly eased soon after my appointment began.

Dr. Gatumu is a wonderful doctor. She responds immediately and is so kind.

ANDREW W. | Jan 26, 2024

Horrible and unprofessional. Lack of communication and the dr did not show for our virtual appointment. Waited 30 min to see if the dr would sign on.
