Always very pleasant and knowledgeable. Asks questions and shows concern and compassion. She never makes me feel as though I'm a bother, even when I ask seemingly stupid questions.

5 out of 5 stars

First time seeing the doctor since my doctor retired and I was very pleased and happy with the visit. The doctor reviewed my information before my visit she knew my medical history didn't have to explain much she was well prepared. I didn't feel rushed she took her time to explain and asked if I had any questions or concerns.
