Patient Reviews
Feb 12, 2021
It has been about five or six years since I first went to see Dr Behara and had a colonoscopy and lab tests. I found her and her staff to be friendly and helpful. I have other health challenges but I was well served by her care. I would recommend her to both friends and family!
