    The first time I saw her earlier in the year I was in need or more immediate help and the MD was not available so I was told I could see her. I was very satisfied with her care. Therefore, when I had to return this month I actually asked for her since I knew she could care for the issue I was presenting and I just thought she was very caring and able.
