This was my husband's initial appointment with Dr Mutharasan. During the meeting Dr Mutharasan took time to review previous & current medical history. Plan of treatment was reviewed. The entire appointment felt relaxed with no time constraints. Dr Mutharasan focused on interacting with my husband by listening to his concerns and answering his questions. As a result, my husband feels VERY POSITIVE about his medical care from Dr Mutharasan.
