Jennifer was very helpful, very kind.
Verified patientVideo visit
She was so great. She listened to EVERY concern I had and then addressed each concern thoroughly before the appointment was over. I never felt rushed or that she was on a time limit. She allowed me to have a choice in my treatment options and explained each of them to extensively. She didn’t just ask questions to check a box, every question was with the intent to better understand me. She was also very very personable, I felt like I was talking to a close friend! Highly recommended!
