Excellent. Dr. Mirza helped with when to take the meds and explained the issues that we would be keeping track of during the year.She also went above and beyond when realizing the stress of driving to and from my appointments and offered the option of seeing a colleague at the Canton location. I will definitely miss her, but the relief of realizing that I will be able to eliminate that trip is great and I have great faith that she believes In the abilities of that Doctor. I really appreciate that she took In my entire health concerns and actually looked beyond just the thyroid and osteoporosis areas of her expertise and considered what would help me overall. She Is great!
