Today was my first day meeting him physically and I must say I was very impressed. He was very detailed with instructions, polite, respectful and I felt more than comfortable... I think the next seven months experience will be very good.

If I could give Dr. Anucha a Million Stars I would. My husband and I were incredibly lucky to find Dr. Anucha as our doctor. He is very professional & made us feel comfortable. He explained everything and answered all of our questions.

He is a great Doctor! He is intelligent, attentive, makes you feel comfortable, always has a smile. Staff is friendly.
