Patient Reviews
Apr 06, 2018
I can't say enough about how wonderful Dr. Drake is. She and her entire team are so caring and compassionate and SO SO intelligent. She really knows her stuff, which is obviously fantastic, but she also knows how to discuss it with her patients in a way that isn't sugar-coating anything while still being sensitive to the patients' emotions. We went in today and received a worse diagnosis, but knowing she's watching us makes me feel even less stressed than before. Love love love this team!
