I had an insurance provider issue with another surgeon prior to seeing her and she was the most accommodating and understanding my situation. She was extremely accommodating knowing my schedule of my knee replacement and set a great path forward.

She listens, she addresses concerns, she gives straight forward answers, provides options. When learning that I had been unable to get any response from anesthesiologist able an issue, she contacted him directly and I received a call from that day.
