Patient Reviews
May 21, 2022
May 20, 2022 Second best doctor we’ve ever had. The first was my severely brain damaged daughters doctor, Dr. fredrick Sanford Ladage. He was like a daddy/grandpa to us, but he passed away, so we had to find another doc. Sooooo, sooo glad and pleased that God sent her our way. She is an absolutely Amazing doctor and human being. We love her to pieces. She tries to treat you as a human patient, not just the next duty in line. She listens to you and discusses things with you even if she doesn’t totally agree with you, your decisions or methods about your own healthcare. What I like about her most is her honesty and sincerity . She really does Care about each of her patients as an individual. Just love her.
