Patient Reviews
Mar 28, 2019
She has been a friend long after she left her practice and switched to Urgent Care. Her bedside manner is exquisite and her kindness and knowledge...she is a gem. I don’t blame her for making the switch but she is still the one to see (UC doesn’t work that way, sadly?!) when you are ill.
