    New patient appointment to establish a primary care doctor. I was very happy with the provider, she was very thorough and listened to everything I mentioned, offered some vaccine's she felt was necessary and would benefit me, ordered some routine bloodwork, talked with me about establishing a cardiologist within the Johns Hopkins group. An overall good experience and look forward to establishing care with this group.

    This provider removed 3 sutures from my chin. She gave me a script for 5 pills of oxycodone that I will cut in half and take with a plain Tylenol so that I will have 10 doses of pain medication as I need them. The ER did not dispense nor address prn pain medication.

    Shalini is AMAZING. She is very approachable and makes me feel seen and heard. I have avoided the doctor for many years and let issues compile and Shalini has not once made me feel weird or bad for finally coming in now for numerous issues. She was very quick to get me appropriate referrals and follow-up on my care.
