    Dr. Mundel is "out of this world." I especially appreciate her patience with my unknowledgeable questions, and how patient she is in answering everything.

  • Mar 19, 2024

    Very good.

  • Mar 15, 2024

    Dr. Mundel is pleasant, she listened but somehow I didn't get the feeling that the solutions to my health concerns were given top priority. She gave me options for treatment, then said she would see me in 6 months.
