LOVED this doctor so much! She listened to all my rambling answers and I felt like she actually cared what I had to say. We talked all about my past appointments and diagnoses and she was able to pull out the important pieces from those past experiences plus her findings from the call to help come up with a plan for me. She asked me many times if I had any other concerns or questions, which again just made me feel like she actually cared and wanted to hear what I had to say. Highly highly recommend this doctor to everyone but especially anyone who might have felt unheard in past appointments.

Doctor canceled appointment 15 minutes after initial one was supposed to begin, for a family emergency. I was then contacted by her office to reschedule two days later, that new appointment was also canceled day of.
