I enjoy having her as my physician with the type of injury that I have. She has been nothing but compassionate. Informative and very helpful in my recovery. I would highly recommend her too. Any of my friends.

The doctor explained everything in detail so a layman could understand. She also had a trait missing in a lot of MD’s, she was a very good listener.
