    Christy has a great bedside manner. She takes the time to find out exactly what the patient is concerned about. She also builds relationships so that we don't feel like we're just a number. She is realistic with care & doesn't just follow a generic script. Every patient is different & she knows what is best for them

    Christy's great. Very professional and easy to deal with. I think the memorial to Dr. Kevin Thomas that she posted in her lobby is a nice touch and appropriate tribute to a fine physician and a great guy.

    She is always friendly and uplifting. She communicates well and is responsive. You can tell that she cares for her patients. She is the only reason that we are still with Optum. I wish she would go to work somewhere else. We would follow her there.
