As I said above, she is a wonderful doctor. My understanding is that she is not currently taking new patients so the question, to an extent, doesn't make sense, but anyone who has her as their physician is going to be happy with the relationship
-
She’s very thorough and provides answers to all my questions about treatment
-
Best Dr. at [omitted]. Follows through with everything. Listens to me and partners with me to determine treatment plan. Knowledgeable, never rushes you despite an overly packed calendar of appointments. Helped me during a medical crisis I was dealing with from a post surgical issue. Talked to me on the phone as I was in an emergency room in another state. She showed so much empathy, gave me direction and followed up with me in the office to plan next steps. I doubt too many providers would do that. She genuinely cares about her patients. [omitted] should treat her well as she and a very few others are the only reason I stay with [omitted]. It’s definitely not the outdated phone system that is understaffed and incompetent and the receptionists who never look up or say hello and are down right rude to people.
