Dr. Hultgren is the best doctor I've ever seen. Shes so kind and thoughtful and knows how to connect with her patients. She's been with me for years and she always listens to me without judgement and finds solutions that work for both of us. She always makes sure I am on board with the plan before moving forward. Shes never pushy and always kind. I never feel rushed or upset. I feel like I am in a safe place to be vulnerable with my doctor which is how it should be. Love love love her. She will probably deliver my children when I have them.
