Dr Machado was super helpful and communicated very well to my liking. I was thankful for her listening to my past concerns about my past pregnancies. I was really scared I wasn't going to find a good doctor to care for me but I'm so glad my husband found her for me ???? super friendly staff and an amazing environment, would definitely recommend going there if you're having trouble finding a good doctor. Everything about the place is very welcoming and the staff will have you feeling comfortable ??
