Patient Reviews
Jan 19, 2024
I have been her patient for 12 years and have had a consistently positive experience. She is thorough and professional, answers my questions and offers information I need to know. On the few occasions where I needed to be seen quickly for an urgent problem, the office was able to fit me in with her or another doctor in the practice.
