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!
Very plsant and down to earth “Bedsude” manners. Listened to my concerns and spoke to me in a way that was clear for me to understand.
Dr. Truelove is professional and caring and carefully explains your problems and potential solutions.
Dr. Truelove gave my pop back the normal use of his hand. It had been gnarled up with Dupuytren's contracture for years. Now he'll be wearing gloves again this winter! So VERY grateful <3
Very professional and knowledgeable
Professional and smart and careing
She is absolutely the best.
