Dr.Durga is one of the most dedicated doctors that I have ever seen. Thanks to her timely help for treating my Father through various health issues including Viral Pneumonia , Covid and Liver complications. As well as quality of care, the assurance and information that she provides in a simplified manner are very helpful. She also makes sure that she follows up on her patients and checks to see that the treatment is working. One of the most approachable and reliable human beings that we are extremely indebted to.
