Very concerning.
She was awesome. I would recommend her to everyone.
I love her let’s get to the point attitude and clear explanations of what’s going on and what we can do.
I was very happy with my visit with doctor true love. I didn't feel rushed at all and she answered all the questions that we had
Thorough and thoughtful.
Excellent, and very thorough. Explained things nicely and I’ve got every confidence she can help me!
She explained everything clearly and thoroughly about what to expect and what to watch for.
Very comforting and caring visit. I felt so much better after seeing her.
Great bedside manner
Dr. Truelove was Great! She was personable and friendly yet she still took the time to go over my X-rays and give me the information I needed to make decisions regarding the reason I went to her! She was very informative and offered a couple of ways we could go about dealing with my problem and let me decide what I wanted to do! I would recommend her to family and friends for sure, very happy with my visit!
