My visit was seamless. The MA, Ashley, was great. She even had the ROI form handy, so that saved me an extra trip to Baptist. Dr. Helmich was super down-to-earth and really listened to me. Glad to have her in my Care Team!

Every step since my entrance of check in, nurse at reception of 3rd floor, especially the office nurse who checked my blood pressure and health history, then my doctor till the check out nurse......each and everyone of them are amazing. I couldn't thank all of them enough for giving me heart warming feelings. I was carefully guided from the very beginning till the end. Also, I requested new booster shot, my doctor ordered the appointment right away, and check out nurse guided me to the lab. I felt really grateful that my office visit that day was more than just wonderful. :)

Wonderful experience. I felt very heard and respected by both the provider and the nurse. They were very courteous and comforting during my IUD placement.

The check in and check out staff were really good very quick. The nurse was excellent. She was patient with me and it was really helpful, just talking through things and the doctor did a great job. She also talked to her things really well, explained things to me well, so overall an excellent experience.
