Competent, caring, relatable, respectful, detailed explanations in layman’s terminology. I have to drive an hour in Phoenix freeway traffic to visit her. She’s worth every minute of travel.

Not pleased with Core in general. She is about as personable as a rattlesnake as are the other surgeons at Core that I have dealt with.
