Dr. Pula is a phenomenal doctor who saw me through the scariest moments of my life with grace, compassion, and expertise. Throughout the four years I've been lucky enough to be his patient, he has gone above and beyond the call of duty, from filling out endless paperwork so I could take medical leave from my job to connecting me with resources and community support to help me adjust to having low vision. Dr. Pula is a doctor worth going to the ends of the earth for, because that's precisely what he does for his patients.
