  • Jan 28, 2026

    An intern provided most of the exam and did discuss with the doctor the findings, and I then was seen by the doctor who did more exam and discussed findings. My appointment time took longer due to this rather than have doctor performing exam and discussing findings at the same time.

    Dr Drakulich has been wonderful. She explained why she was concerned and when the tests were actually benign, she was just as excited as I was about it. I appreciate a provider who genuinely wants good things for their patients
