I appreciate her specialty and skill. I trust her.
Hi, my visit with her was very efficient. Before I saw her, I had reviewed the images of my CT scan. She was exceedingly polite, attentive, listened to me carefully. I would vote her actually one of the best providers I have ever seen. Thank you.
She was great, she was caring, she was thoughtful, she was very communicative and shared her screen with me so I could visually see my test results and make sense of it. When I had a question, she answered it and she tried to limit her medical jargon.
Very caring and listened to my concerns and responded to them in a very respectful and friendly and caring way. Very professional and gentle in the treatment process.
She's an amazing doctor, very attentive, considerate, and helpful.
