    It 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.
