It was my first time there. My doctor was attentive, informative and took action to make sure that I received all the help I needed. To see a specialist the same day she called them directly so I was able to get an appointment the same day. She was caring and concerned I will definitely be back. My nurse was also caring and informative.
Dr. Pothen was absolutely wonderful. She was professional, warm and caring. I needed to see an ENT dr and she made sure that I was able to be seen the same day I saw her. We need more doctors like her.
