Great transfer-of-care first visit! Dr. Punyapu was very thorough, asking me questions about matters that I hadn't really been concerned about - but should have all the way along.

Dr was kind, listened and interacted very attentively .Very professional
My first visit after going a year without being able to see a PCP, so had several questions and concerns. MD was helpful, but too much for one visit.
Dr Punyapu is wonderful. He is very personable and listens to you carefully. You feel as though he would spend as much time as needed with you. You don't feel as though he is preoccupied with other things.
The doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful throughout. Seemed to have my best interest in mind and wanted to solve the problem.
Dr. Punyapu embodies unparalleled empathy, competence, compassion, kindness, and support as my primary care physician. His exceptional listening skills and thorough explanations create an atmosphere where my opinions, thoughts, and suggestions are truly valued. Throughout each visit, he exudes a sense of warmth and cultural proficiency, ensuring that I never feel hurried. Going the extra mile, he consistently strives to deliver nothing short of excellent care. Following any new test results, he personally reaches out to inquire about my well-being, address any questions I may have, and determine the level of support needed in navigating the test outcomes and care plan. In sum, he is a remarkable individual and a true expert in his field.
Dr. Punyapu is an outstanding physician. He is attentive, knowledgeable, and listens well. When providing feedback, he is straightforward, thoughtful, and thorough. He has an appropriate and healthy sense of humor and shares personal experiences when relevant. I trust his opinions and feel grateful for his care. He is a wonderful doctor.
Dr. P is the best PCP i've ever worked with. He made me feel comfortable to ask questions and provided clear explanations when needed. He made a few recommendations, like for certain vaccines or seeing a specialist, but reinforced that it was my choice. I felt like he cared and was actively listening.
Dr. Punyapu is very thoughtful, thorough, and kind. I would be happy to see him again and recommend him.
I felt seen and heard, I have been having increased migraines lately and it prompted me to dump all my issues on poor Dr. P and he rolled with it, asked great questions, explored potential new medications and referred me to sleep and headache clinics. I'm super grateful
Dr Punyapu is very compassionate and professional. He presented his ideas to me as choices, not directives which I truly appreciate. I do have a bit of trouble understanding a few words that he says, (which could be in part due to my hearing) but when I ask him to repeat anything, he is happy to do it and makes sure that I understand before he moves on. He listens to my concerns and made sure that I felt comfortable with the plan we came up with. He is a wonderful doctor!
Definitely felt as if Dr. Punyapu was looking for possible solutions and not minimizing or dismissing my concerns
I was very surprised by Dr. Puyapuh's kindness and care. Thank you for making mental health struggles easier.
