  • "De. Vangala is by far one of the best doctors I have come across. She takes care of my dad and her diagnosis has been on point. She takes her time with him to examine him, explaining his conditions and the different options to treat them. Initially I went to her office with my dad for a couple of appointments but I wasn’t able to come back after that but nevertheless she’s always happy to talk to me on a video call when my dad goes to his appointments. Extremely difficult to find good doctors nowadays like her. She really cares and we all appreciate her professionalism and compassion. Thank you"
