Patient Reviews
Mar 11, 2022
Very professional and informative yet understanding and compassionate . The discussion was frank and understandable but in easy to understand language. I did not feel like I was talked down to. Any questions were answered and her staff is top rate. My husband and I were comfortable talking with her. I highly recommend her.
