Great doctor
Verified patientVideo visit
She was great. The poor woman was sick with pneumonia in the hospital and she still took the time to call me and fill my rx. She’s very caring, kind, compassionate, and she keeps her word unlike a lot of my previous providers.
Verified patientVideo visit
Great dr she took the time to ask the question's and listened to what I had to say. I was called prior to the appointment to make sure the insurance and paperwork were in order. I didn’t have to wait at all she was prompt and was there exactly at my appointment time. Ohh and she forgot about the copay until after the appointment which shows me money was NOT the first thing on her mind
