She was very personable and took the time to listen and explain everything to me very clearly. Needed a referring doctor and she got me one that visit. Only thing is that I still haven’t received my prescription she sent due to too much medication and pharmacy required a fax back from her and office hasn’t gotten back to them.

This one is really tough because it was a telephone appointment because I couldn’t go to the office at the time. But she did ask all the right questions.

She listened to my concerns, read my record before seeing me so she was up to date on my medical history, did a thorough exam, and once my bloodwork returned she sent a note with further recommendations. Excellent provider!
