    She is the first female Primary Care Physician I've ever had, and I like talking to her about any problems I might have than with a male Doctor. I just feel very relaxed with her at my appointments.

    I’ve been seeing Dr Powell for almost 20 years. She listens, addresses my concerns, involves me in decisions. As a woman I prefer female doctors.

    Always very nice and listens to my issues. Talks to me about things to do for my health, doesn't just say do it this way. Always willing to give me a chance of doing things on my own and watching what happens. Always responds when messages are sent.

    This is the first time that I have chosen my own Primary Doctor and my first Female Doctor, as well, and I feel that I made a great decision on both!! Up until the Fall of 2018, when we moved here, my husband and myself always had the same Primary Doctor, so I decided this time to take the opportunity to pick my own Primary Physician and for it to be a female doctor this time. I haven't been disapointed either!!
