Dr Amaratunge and her staff were awesome!
Dr. Amaratunge is great! She’s very personable and I truly like her. Her clinical staff are outstanding! Her best medical assistant just left so I’m hoping her replacement is just as good!
Dr Amararunge,, MD was so professional, but very nice and considerate to my mother situation. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly. I highly recommend her.
