Patient Reviews
Oct 13, 2022
Dr. Handanos was my primary care doc at the VA in Albuquerque, NM. She was the best. I was very sorry to hear she was moving to Maine. She was extremely knowledgeable and thorough and I had some serious health issues (still do). My brother is a doc and my wife is an RN. I would of course run everything past them. Dr. Handanos was always on the money! The VA’s loss has been Maine’s gain. It has been over 14 years and I am still thankful for her care. This is the first and only review I have ever written.
