05/18/2026

Dr Tumbarella was easy to talk to, listened well, and provided me with a plan for next steps for my issues.

05/13/2026

This was my first time seeing Dr. Tumbarella. I found her both personable and thorough.

04/22/2026

The doctor was interested in my well being and my desire to not over treat a virus.

04/14/2026

I felt a little rushed and did not really hit all the marks that I wanted to at this appointment. Did not feel like she particularly cared about anything. Just checking off the boxes. I read my visit summary and it said we discussed diet and exercise. We did not, she asked me how my diet was and she asked me if I exercised. There was no discussion about what I should be doing versus what I was doing. Nothing that was in my note was actually discussed. Honestly most people don’t read those summaries so they wouldn’t know what was “discussed “. She was very nice and I won’t say it was a terrible visit, just wasn’t exactly how I felt it should have gone

04/13/2026

She was kind, interested, and took time to explain everything.

04/07/2026

Very informative

04/06/2026

Once she got into the exam room she was awesome. I learned through her that my PCP was changing offices and I asked if I could change to her as my new PCP. I'm looking forward to my next visit.

She was very easy to talk to and understood all of my questions and helped me understand a few things as well. Very NICE doctor!

It was a good experience. She listened to me and worked together with me to develop a good plan of action for my shoulder.
