  • Jul 31, 2024

    The provider seemed pleasant but seemed to be rather nonchalant and aloof. I felt like I had to keep asking questions to get clarity versus her being forth coming with education that would help me best understand my concerns and expectations. As the expert, I'm sure she experiences patients with varying degrees of health concerns. My situation may be nothing to worry about' but it helps to be listened to and educated in a manner that doesn't seem dismissive of like pulling teeth for information.

    She is great.
