My provider of over 15 years recently retired and recommended Dr. Punger. I am thrilled with her recommendation. I have only been seeing her for a few months and she has taken time to work through my history with thorough care.

This visit was a follow up to a questionable blood pressure reading from a previous visit. At that visit Dr. Punger asked me if anyone had ever mentioned Hypertension as my BP was a touch high for a small guy like me. To be honest I thought she was a bit off but in fact she was dead on and the medication she put me on brought my BP down 20+ points (high number). No obvious signs but she picked up on a constant reading over the last two years that was on the high side. VERY GOOD INDEED.

I absolutely love Dr. Punger and the supporting staff. I've moved away from the office a while back, but still make the drive any time I need to see her for anything, because I refuse to go anywhere else but to her and the rest of the Reynolda Family Practice employees.
