"Dr. Gopal and his staff are without a doubt the EXCEPTION TO TODAY'S IMPRESSION OF MEDICAL PROVIDERS! Dr. Gopal obviously took the time to hire his staff, because they are just as compassionate, caring, kind and loving as him. Trust me, I am qualified to make these statements; not my first rodeo, ya'll. I don't typically take the time for reviews, but for Dr. Gopal, I absolutely will make an exception as he deserves all the recognition for who he simply is, as a person (I think). Dr. Gopal took a personal interest in my care from the moment I was referred to him. "Bedside manner?" Dr. Gopal treated me like a "person" he cares for, like family. Therefore, that term is not relevant. If you ask me, that is a good thing!...' -Heidi

I am a board-certified Physician Associate through the NCCPA. Early on I developed an interest in patient care which led me to the PA profession. I completed my Bachelor of Science in Biology at ASU and later went on to complete PA school at A.T Still University.
I value patient autonomy and believe in having honest conversations with patients to guide their care. I work alongside the care team with an aim to support patients in ways that consider their overall well-being. Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with family, watching thrillers, and journaling. I grew up in Arizona where the summers are hot and long, but I can still find ways to enjoy wandering trails and exploring the desert landscapes.
“I scheduled an appointment online to see Haley Mejias. When I arrived for my appointment (that was confirmed via text and email) I was told she wasn’t in the office on Tuesday. The front desk person didn’t seem to care that the scheduling system was flawed. She said she’d get me in and after waiting for 40 minutes I was able to see Robert and he provided great care. Everyone I’ve seen at the practice has provided excellent care - but the business side is lacking. ”
“Krystal is always prompt and is thorough in patient evaluation. She explains everything clearly and answers questions.
