First time seeing this provider. I'm a picky old critical care nurse. I could not have asked for better care. Personable, caring, listened intently, gave me great feedback to my questions. Explained the plan of care going forward.

My doctor took so much time explaining the treatment plan for me. And even after explaining it, she even re-explained it because I was happier during the visit than when I came in there. She's so educated, and she put my mind at ease when other people did not. I'm very grateful for the time she spent with me.
