    How was your appointment with Dr. Twahirwa?

    Jun 17, 2021
    I had many years of not seeing a doctor and when I saw Dr Twahirwa he showed concern about my health and started asking questions about any medical history that I had and started figuring out a plan to control my diabetes and cholesterol. Thanks to his concern and quickness on acting on a plan to control it , I am able to manage it in a normal range now. Thank you for everything doctor and his staff.
