No convinced of the Dx but will follow recommendations of Dr Dua. He's a great doctor. And his staff and assistants are terrific.
Dr. Dua gave me a lot of new information that was not shared with me at the previous specialist I had went to. He is very knowledgeable and I'm very pleased that I was referred to him by the previous clinic in Indiana that I went to when we lived there.
No issues
I am confident that Dr. Dua gives me the very best care and is the most knowledgable doctor around. He is smart and knows his area of medicine. I'm so happy he is my doctor and he is employed at Froedtert!
Really liked Dr Dua and his team. Straight forward logic as to what they saw and their recommendations for treatment going forward.
Thank you for your great skill, care and concern!
I could not get my video end to work, but was able to see health care providers. I was able to put up a photo of myself. Great experience since I had never done it before
