The Doctors Knowledge was impressive. Her care and understanding was appreciated. She answered questions and showed concern. It's a shame that insurance can end up delaying treatment to a person for almost a month and keep them in pain. Otherwise my doctor could of helped me immediately. Thank you Doctor Tara.
