My 1st visit with Dr. Thurmulai could not have gone better. I typically have some self-induced anxiety when visiting a new Dr for the 1st time, but Dr. Thurmulai's kindness and welcoming nature immediately put me at ease. She spent a long time with me, stepping through my vast medical past, updating prescriptions, offering additional treatment options yet not insisting I use them, and really showing interest in helping me live a long healthy life. I was disappointed when my prior endocrinologist left the clinic I was at, forcing me to find a new doctor, but I feel fortunate to have landed at UWMC with Dr. Thirmulai! [...]
