Patient Reviews
Sep 13, 2024
Extremely pleased and grateful for a Dr. who genuinely cares about her patients. I needed surgery to remove a cyst but am on blood thinners for a blood clot found in my heart. She was not willing to ask my cardiologist at this time to take me off my blood thinners being I was only 2 months out. She explained how much more the value of my life was more important to her than doing a surgery that could harm me if another clot formed. I greatly appreciate her and her compassion and commitment to her patients health. Thank you so much for being such an amazing soul!
