Great listener, explain everything great clarity, showed empathy, encourages to express my concerns and problems. Amazing doctor!
Dr Kumaravel is very knowledgeable, caring and listened to all my questions and concerns. She gave me a treatment plan which is already helping after only three days. I highly recommend her!!
Every aspect of this medical procedure was outstanding. The team was exceptional starting with the receptionist who reassured me that I had enough time to get from Methodist center to Plano for the procedure.
The nurse, Angela, heard me when I told her it is hard to get a needle into my veins- they are little and roll. After spending time looking for the right vein, she didn't try to puncture me. Instead Angela called Amina. Amina was able to do it after taking substantial time to find the right vein.
This is in stark contrast to a blood draw in January for my annual exam. At an unrelated lab, to get my blood, it took three different technicians and 4 punctures with their needles. One tech said she “blew the vein" and left me with a hematoma. This is the usual experience I have.
At Digestive Health, however, Amina did the successful insertion of the needle without hurting me to hook up the IV bag. then she cautioned the anesthesiologist Lana, about my veins. All of them listened, did not hurt me and the procedure was successful.
I was comfortable with and trusted the physician, Dr. Verna Kumaravel and will seek medical care from her in the future.
I am very grateful for the care these medical professionals took, and their great communication skills.
I wish I could have these nurses, doctor and receptionist for every medical procedure I have !
