My husband ended up in the ER the day of my appointment. I called to see if I could squeeze in a bit early so I could be there for my husband. The entire staff went above and beyond to get me in and on my way. Everyone was kind, caring and professional.

I appreciate everything she has done for me over the years. Even if we disagree on a treatment, (I can be super stubborn) she finds a way to explain the risks and benefits. Never belittles me or makes me feel incompetent. I'm happy with these last results and look forward to whatever comes my way.
