Patient Reviews
Feb 25, 2016
she is one of the best doctors I have ever had an I have had a lot. little to no wait. she returns calls in a timely manner. she spends as much time as needed with me and answers all questions in detail. she always comes to the hospital when Im in there where other doctors never did. there is never a problem getting prescription refills and uses an email portal to do so.
