Very nice and caring person
Was fast and very nice .
I have seen Dr. Veerina for many years. He is very thorough but will explain in layman’s terms.
He doesn’t explain much. For instance, gave me some meds to start taking. He nor his nurse gave me instructions on how often & how much to take. Also, what to take when I ran out of the samples (didn’t give me a script). I had to ask the nurse what to do when I ran out of samples. I had to ask all the questions for further information . The nurses & doctor should offer more detailed information to the pt. Also, I needed to get some further tests done & the doctor didn’t order the tests. I had to tell the nurse so she could check with the doctor for more orders. Perhaps they were very busy that day. I had to wait over 1 hour to see the MD.
He was courteous and concerned about my health problem and offered a solution to help ease my pain. He is nice and often shows good bed side niceness with smiles and a gentle voice.
