She is the most wonderful doctor we have ever seen. I had a list of things that I wanted to ask her. Ask all the questions and she answered all my questions. She took time, she was in no hurry to get rid of us. I couldn't say enough positive things about her. She is wonderful. I feel blessed she is our doctor.

Received my flu shot during my visit - probably the most competent and skilled nurse in administering such shots I have ever had. She was exceptional.

After seeing my doctor I was left in an examining room for a long time with no information about whether they were through with me or not. I finally had to flag down a nurse for help. She provided me with a blanket because the room was so cold and found out that my tests had been read and I was free to check out. It was just some miscommunication and no big concern. Everyone was very nice.
