NP Farrell is a highly competent, kind, caring medical professional. It was clear as soon as she walked into the room that she was familiar with my case, up to date on any/all developments, and explained everything to me clearly. She included me in the decision making process providing pros and cons as appropriate. Her approach was appropriately conservative and wonderfully reflected how I prefer to approach my healthcare decisions. I can't speak highly enough of my interaction with her. |
