Patient Reviews
Feb 24, 2019
She walked me through a very tough time when no one knew what was going on with me. She was very thorough and thoughtful about her testing and management and included me in devising a plan for me. She also was very patient with my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her to my family and friends!
