Extremely compassionate, friendly, knowledgeable professional made my issue very clear. Not an alarmist which I personally appreciate. Told me exactly what I needed to know left the office knowing that at the present time no treatment and until there is an issue no need for a follow up. I like her style very similar to mine. Highly recommend her as she was highly recommended to me.

Very impressed with Dr. Livingstone and the office staff. From front desk to check out, everyone was friendly and professional.
August 2, 2022Dawn D.Verified patient
Half hour wait before being taken from waiting room.
Young man who checked me in and confirmed info and symptoms was pleasant and effective.
The Xray tech was efficient and cold.
M.D. was personable and explained clearly my symptoms and how to plan for future possible additional symptoms. Made you feel she knew what she was talking about.
The people behind the glass at check in could use some people skills.
The waiting room was clean, but cold and basic.
