She was very accommodating. We just had technical difficulties during the call, which I’m sure was not her fault.

Poor communication, did not receive a way to create an online account to see the Dr until the apt itself started. Then Dr never sent the lab order so when I showed up they turned me away.

I loved the one on one time. With many other doctors I felt like a number instead of a patient, but with Dr.B, I always felt like a friend.
Less than 1 year agoKA
I am incredibly grateful to have found such an outstanding primary doctor. She is the perfect blend of compassion, professionalism, and genuine care. From the moment she walks into the room, she listens with intention not rushing, not assuming, but truly wanting to understand what’s going on. She asks the right questions, pays attention to details, and never makes you feel unheard or dismissed.
What sets her apart is her dedication to treating the root cause, not just the symptoms. She approaches every concern with thoughtful investigation and a commitment to long-term health. Her medical knowledge is excellent, but it’s her empathy and patience that make the experience exceptional.
It’s rare to find a physician who combines such expertise with a warm, human touch. She’s compassionate, and truly cares for my well-being. I couldn’t ask for a better primary doctor, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will actually listen, understand, and help you heal.

I had a great time, she really valued making me comfortable above all, talking me through the process and being very supportive and sweet, always getting my consent before starting, making sure I understood what was going on, how it would work and gave off a very positive, professional attitude that I love while still being funny and easy to talk to
