- Jun 30, 2025Was very convenient to have a virtual follow up.
- Jun 30, 2025I will do follow up lab work and see her again in one year.
- Jun 30, 2025Dr Daria Yunina Distefano is very thorough and explained the results so I understood what the tests showed.
- 5.0Jun 27, 2025It is always a pleasure to visit Dr. Yunina's office. She is always in a good mood and provides information in a way regular people can understand. She also ordered my bloodwork in advance and sent me her commentary on the results BEFORE the appointment so that we could have a meaningful discussion AT the appointment. This needs to become standard practice with all doctors as time gets wasted and the office visit resulting in "we will see when the bloodwork comes back." I am glad Dr. Yunina was pro-active. Additionally, the medical assistant Malik is always friendly and personable, I am glad I have him every time I go as it provides consistency.
- 5.0Jun 20, 2025Dr. Yunina is very professional and extremely informative! I truly will recommend her to anyone!
