“Amazing, couldn’t ask for more!”
I’m so glad I found Dr. Basu and Firefly health. I have been struggling with a nagging issue for years, and every other doctor I’ve been to has never really taken the time to listen or follow up. Dr. Basu took all the time we needed to talk through the issues and is engaged in working through everything with me to find a solution. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!
