Doctor Nadkarni "excellent" physician.

5 out of 5 stars

Dr. Nadkarni was thorough and clear, answered questions on complex issues, and spent more than adequate time with me as a first time patient. She analyzed my medical history, made no predictions or guarantees, but gave me peace of mind that my risks would be monitored closely. I appreciated her expertise and time.
