Patient Reviews
Sep 10, 2016
She takes the time to listen. Makes extensive notes and makes sure that every need you have is covered before you walk out the door. She's not afraid to order test's and will work with you to find out a plan of treatment that works best for you. I have never felt so comfortable telling a doctor my problems as I have her.
