What our Patients Say
I thoroughly checked out Dr. Makhija's website before choosing to make an appointment. Everything I read and the videos I watched impressed me. She is very good at communicating, and I knew I wanted to get her input on my health concerns. I was also very pleased with the staff member booking my appointment over the phone, and the staff members welcoming me when I got to my appointment. I felt listened to and not rushed. I left with all the notes she took during my appointment, and communication continued with a follow-up email containing high-protein food suggestions and recipes. I now have all the tools I need to be successful in my journey toward better health in this post-menopausal stage of life. I believe finding Dr. Makhija to be a great blessing. Thank you, Dr. Makhija and team!
