I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya...
I've been seeing Dr. Aarthi Priya for my blood pressure and general health for about five years now. She remembers the small things from my last visit, which makes a huge difference. The clinic at MGM can get busy, but she never rushes me. I trust her completely because she explains changes in my treatment clearly and never pushes for unnecessary tests.
