Dr. Didi is an exceptional doctor. I feel very secure knowing that she is my doctor. In fact, tonight after dinner, I realized that I am feeling a lot better since our appointment this morning because of her on-target analysis of my condition, her knowledge, skill-sets and her superlative, effective communication style. Dr. Didi delivers great patient care. A+ person.
