Dr. Murthy is the absolute BEST!! He’s been my doctor for quite some time now and this particular visit was my best visit thus far as I have reached an all time low in the area of my A1C!! With his guidance and knowledge and just meeting me where I am we have together done what I thought was impossible and that is to get my A1C down. Thank you Dr. Murthy
