Explanation

Dr Puntmann is an excellent doctor. She brings both a deep understanding of cutting-edge cardiology with research into inflammation and immune function. I saw her for heart problems post Covid and she listened, ran many tests to obtain a complete picture, took the time to explain the results to me and then prescribed innovative (and established) drugs to combat those problems. She then followed up, adjusted and I can honestly say I feel so much better. I understand she is involved in the latest clinical trials in this area and has been published widely - I was very lucky to have her as one of my options. I would wholly recommend her.
