Patient Reviews
Feb 13, 2021
I will admit, I am not a great patient. I hate needles, much less anything more invasive. I went in with a significant amount of anxiety. I'd never had the type of procedure required. Dr. Tierney listened to my concerns and fears. She was reassuring and easy to talk to. She's a wonderful doctor and I'm so thankful I found her! The whole staff from check-in until departure was awesome!
