My sister and I both have been going to Dr. Atkins for years. In my opinion you will not find a more compassionate, caring doctor. And above all she really takes the time to listen to you. You are a person to Dr. Atkins, not just another number. I feel so blessed to have found her.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
