Dr. Rustagi has been so amazing to work with over the last year or so. She has been so helpful with the health of my child and we always have had great experiences with her!

Dr. Rustagi was one of the best doctors I've ever had an appointment with. She was kind, informative, and very patient with my small children. The nurse practitioner who was training was also amazing and very hands on.

Provider is always behind with schedule. We never had 1 appointment that was on-time since and we always show up early or on-time with our appointments. From check-in to provider showing up always takes atleast an hour of wait. Not worth it for a 15 min. consultutation. I hope this gets resolved or improved.
