    Karen is Amazing!She listens and she remembers!!! Rarely does that happen that the doctors remember you and it's refreshing to not have to remind them. Visit was very personable. Karen is naturally gifted at what she does! She's very knowledgeable and kind.

    She was a very nice lady. The only thing I did not like was that she wanted to change my mind. My mind already was set. I'm glad it was informative, but I don't like people changing my mind.
