She's an excellent MD-Thorough, kind, personable, and does not "overdiagnosis" and look for issues that are not there. I really respect her!

I don’t like how she answers questions. I feel she is very defensive. This is my third visit with her and my last. I have tried to warm up to her style, but it was worse this time. I will need a new doctor next time.
