Dr. Machua is the reason I continue with Piedmont. She was the only Doctor that took interest in my condition and gave it a clear diagnosis and treatment plan. Nelta, I know I misspelled it. She,Äôs a blessing as well. Both are the reason I still visit Piedmont for treatment. Please find more doctors that care about the patient. Please make sure both get the recognition they deserve.
