Dr. Enger was probably the best doctor I've ever seen. I wish she was my PCP so I could see her more than once a year!! She was very eager to listen to me and what symptoms I have and explained in detail what could be happening. She performed extra tests and explained what she was looking for and didn't find. Truly a phenomenal doctor and I felt very heard and also appreciated the detail she went Into for me. I get nervous with new doctors and I felt Instantly at ease with her.

I really do not think it is appropriate with a ""provider"" does not identify their designation. I had no idea whether I was dealing with an MD (I ruled that out), a PA or an NP. It is completely misleading to have someone come into the room and just identify as a provider.

Dr Enger was very interested in my eye problem, listened to me carefully & referred me to a sub-specialist for further examination.
