My doctor was lovely and very helpful. I had a couple of small issues that I brought up and she gave me free samples to use to address them both. She also added if they do not work, to call the office and she will prescribe something else. I got bad directions getting to my appointment, but once I found her office, it was a very pleasant experience. Since i was a geography teacher, I might write up good directions to her office. :-) I will definitely return next year for my yearly appointment.
