This is one of the best providers I have ever seen. She is so considerate of any concerns I have and ensures that I feel comfortable at every appointment. I came in very worried and scared about my procedure, and brought my husband with me, and she made both of us feel extremely comfortable and was super accommodating that he was there and made space for us both. She reassured me during the procedure and did such a great job of explaining every step so that I knew what to expect. She also answered all of my questions without judgement and made me feel so much more confident and relieved than when I came in.

I notified her that I had not had my yearly check up since 2019. She was incredibly gracious and kind, and encouraged me that they would take care of me

Some visits were pretty short, I feel like the doctor was in a rush sometimes.
