Very personable, explained everything
Provider reviewed x-rays. Was friendly, cordial and professional. Provided treatment plan. No surgery needed.
Very pleasant, kind, patient and caring! And very knowledgeable. Would recommend highly!
The personal and office follow up is non existent. Its unacceptable that a provider would send a patient to another office for tests with ZERO FOLLOW UP!! I called the office leaving messages to find out next steps. Nothing. Like we evaporated from all records. Its NOT the patients responsibility to HOUND an office to get information, then insult to injury, get none. Grossly disappointed
She’s very caring and attentive.
