Patient Reviews
Jun 23, 2023
She is an amazing doctor. Comes off very genuine and personable and thats a big thing in specialty care where most Docs are aloof or don't seem to care, She cares and goes over everything tests where your at and her hopes for where we want to be and is realistic. I don't feel like I am just a number to her. Really easy to talk to and understand and the course of treatment is working. So she is backing it up with results. If I feel a doctor has the personality of drywall I will fire them and get a new doctor because I feel I need a connection this isn't Jiffy Lube and I'm not a car I am a person and should be treated as so. So many doctors are lacking in the Empathy or Compassion Where this Doctor gives you 1110% and is always in the moment with you. Great Personality and the smarts to back it up. I'd give her 10/10 would definitely recommend
