She addressed my issue, ordered the appropriate imaging needed, and gave me clear information about what to expect at my diagnostic imaging appointment. I found the visit very helpful, and was happy with the care I received

I called for an appointment and was seen the next day. My visit was pleasant, and I was relieved through the doctor’s explanation that everything was ok. She viewed my chart and reminded me I have a physical in a few months. I was very pleased with my whole experience.
