What our patients are saying...
 

"Both the medical assistant and doctor were patient and genuinely attentive to our questions and concerns. There were many as this was our first visit getting to know the doctor and her philosophy on certain treatment for both my husband and myself. She never made us feel rushed either and actually looked and smiled at us when speaking."
