I loved Dr girma. This was a new patient visit, and as I am dissatisfied with my previous GP, Dr girma seems to be a perfect fit for my needs. She was friendly, personable, professional, caring, listened and responded, asked questions, we discussed my situation and my needs and I hope we can work together this well on an ongoing basis.
