I was disappointed that the pre-appointment forms I completed online at home were not the forms that the office required. I had to complete a different set of forms once I arrived to the doctor's office.
Love her straight to the point bedside manner. Caring and funny! Tells you what you need but leaves the decision up to the patient. No pressure. Staff is professional and very nice.
