Patient Reviews
Dec 30, 2022
Dr Puhalla is highly responsive and thorough. She has called me back in evenings and caught other health issues and referred me right away. She is outstanding in every area. She was a huge emotional support system as well while I went thru chemo and other treatment. She is aggressive with treatment and takes her time with each patient. This dr has saved my life. I saw very past reviews about her always being late. The last few years i mostly found that not to be true but if it happens I know when I was first diagnosed she sat thru my tears and fears and was so encouraging and positive. I have rarely had to wait more than twenty minutes. I bring a book in case. But will always understand if she is running late as I know she is taking her time to provide meticulous health care for her other patients. I see her in the Cranberry location. She is also a leader in clinical studies.
