Dr. Dua was absolutely the best! Can't say enough about the amazing experience I had and the incredible care and compassion she gave to my situation that was difficult and complicated.

Healthcare is not just about the science it's about the people who are in need of care and the ones who deliver that care. Dr. Dua is the absolute BEST!

I was extremely impressed and satisfied with this doctor as I have been dealing with vein issues that have meant my life so much in the past four years. I feel that she has listened to me more than any other doctor and understood every single symptom I was having and all past procedures or therapies to treat it and she encouraged me that she will do everything in her power to help me get a better quality of life. I was very impressed with her.

Hi, I'd like to say that the provider was very good, very quick in getting me my supplies. However, the supplies that I got were not fitting me. So that's my only complaint. But other than that, she reached out to all the people that she should have and I got quick results. But just like the one thing that didn't fit me was an issue.
