I liked the way Dr. Hemel treated my parents who are in their 90s. I have been looking for a doctor for 3 years since mine retired. I found Dr. Hemel easy to talk to and quick to respond to my phone calls and emails. I did not feel rushed, and she patiently answered all my questions. I feel confident in her care.
