Ms Cheater is very thorough in everything she does. She has a great staff and yes, I would go back and see her again. Thank you.
Went in for an appointment this provider took a biopsy and then sent it to the lab. I had to call several times to get the results and then she referred me out to a general surgeon when I met with the general surgeon, he stated that this could’ve been taken care of by the original provider that got the biopsy and he doesn’t know why she referred out to him when it could’ve been done that day in the office.
Tammy was very knowledgeable and knew what to prescribe for my rash , took a biopsy to see what’s causing it, I would happily see her again .

Verified patient
Ms. Cheater was very professional and friendly. She listened to what has and hasn’t worked for me in the past when treating my skin condition. I’ve since sent my mom there for treatment as well. I don’t recall the woman’s name from the front office, but she was amazingly friendly, too!
