We felt do comfortable, relieved of our worst fears, and so heartened by Dr Froula’s approach and nature: straightforward, but direct and helpful. His staff akso inspired confidence :
Mary at the desk: lovely, welcoming, but direct and assertive. We knew where we were supposed to go, but we felt safely ushered therein. Then Meredith received us and let James sit in with me. Missy di a lot if the testing. Then Jessica toiks us, but i felf comfortable going back to ask any if them. It is a whirlwind wxperience. So to have people you feel comfortable with, is quite an advantage. I was SO happyvto bevin theur hands. They looked after us the way wecwould have looked after our patients. thank you all
