I did not feel rushed. I just can't say enough good things about my experience yesterday. I also will be coming back in four to six weeks to see her again because she left me some very specific instructions. I was impressed is all I can say and very thankful that I got an appointment so quickly. Apparently there was a cancellation and I got in very, very, very quickly. So all is good. I am impressed.
