The visit was thorough and I felt my needs were met. Although, I had a long wait time, it appreciated that she took time to hear my concerns, answer my questions and follow up with appropriate testing for issues that needed to be addressed.
This is my first visit with her and I left very happy. She is very detailed oriented to get to the point of the issue. Very caring. The front office is awesome as well.
