Hello Sir!!

My girlfriend had a car crash that suffered a cerebral traumatism that affected her balance, walking ..... she is currently being recovered by kinetotherapy but recently I was at another doctor who recommended us NurAid II, a natural supplement based on 9 plants ....
In Romania, there is not much to say about this supplement, as well as other product specifics!
I appeal to you in the hope that you know of it, if it were a suitable solution in this case!
Thx for help

Krishna is a great doctor who is clearly up to date and cares about his patients. I have always enjoyed seeing him and have been doing so for over 5 years. The staff and management in the practice however have gotten increasingly worse over the years. 75% of the time you are greeted on the phone in a hostile manner, and if you ask to speak to a manager about billing, or just in the hopes of receiving someone "professional" you only take a step down the ladder. Even worse I have watched management disrespect staff, and patients alike on more than one occasion talking to them like you would an uneducated child, and resorting to eye-rolls and raised tones.
Management needs management, communication and respect training. Staff need to learn patience, and appropriate training.
Love Krishna, Dr. AJ and Dr Merran to death, but when an appointment is worse than a nerve test, there's an issue.
Fix the staff and the practice would be a patients dream until then it's a nightmare.

Krishna is a great doctor who cares and knows more about his specalty than anyone. I have been to him many times, it is a major shame that his staff are not anywhere near as great Manager is rude and talks to everyone like they are toddlers. Staff scream and hang up phones on you mid conversation constantly.
If Krishna hired new staff his practice would be a lot more tolerable I will not be returning.

i want to start by saying that the doctors at his practice in voorhies are very good. They answer questions and dont ever hesitate to explain something or send you for testing if you are worried about something. The staff are a different story. The girls in the front can be extremely rude and the manager called iris is horrendous she constantly will put you on hold and transfer you to random other people. one of the least helpful people ive ever met and the office would be much better without her
