My Doctor was professional and caring. She expressed sympathy for some of the difficulties I am having and offered suggestions. She also said if I did not feel the options she provided helped enough, to contact her in three months and we would find something else to help me.

She is the best provider I have seen at the office, and I have seen many over the past 25 or more years. I feel very comfortable talking to her. She is always very thorough, informative, and very helpful. She is also very caring and shows concern for whatever we discuss and makes sure she addresses how I'm feeling and offers resources and referrals. I plan on making her my regular doctor.

I know the practice is made to see every provider, but if I could only see her I WOULD! I didn't have to overly explain my situation, I told her my desire and she understood completely and said that she would help me. It made me let out a huge breath of fresh air because I felt an insurmountable amount of stress about it and she didn't force the issue at all. I really appreciated that.
