    I sought a new dr. who interacted with ease, concern and interest with her patient. She did, fully! I came away with a feeling of relief and gratitude for her personal warmth, thoroughness, and expertise to best understand my medical background as it might apply to my current medical history...all offered in a professional & caring manner with no hint of done! next? until she was satisfied with all information required for how to proceed with my care. She's a winner!
