Dr. Israel is extremely attentive not only medically but in all aspects of my life. Instead of a casual “how are you” she actually sits down face to face and asks how my life is. Dr. Israel recognizes the importance of how complex and integrated general health actually is. A very rare bread of PCP’s and I would give her 10 stars if it were an option.
