This was our first experience with Dr. Luella and we thought she was excellent.

The doctor never asked questions regarding my health, instead immediately launched into a lecture about the dash diet and need to lose weight. It wasn't until the end of the appointment that my wife told the doctor the symptoms I was having that the doctor actually paid attention to what we had been trying to tell her and ordered testing. She never once asked a question regarding what brought me in to her office.
