    "This provider is good at diagnosing and taking very thorough notes. At first diagnosis, I appreciated her honesty, but felt a little let down as the appointment was over. I felt like there should have been more. I'm not sure what really, except maybe to say if anything else comes up or you need anything at all, maybe to give the office a call or to give me one of her business cards. Thursday was a follow up to that appointment, a six month checkup. We discussed next steps, but I gave her a list of things I have noticed about myself, yet nothing was suggested as to what I can do or offering if a medication would be helpful. Maggie the CMA/Nurse, listened to all I said. She was a nice person."

She took the time to explain everything that happened to me, how critical the situation was, how important the care is. I felt that I left the appointment really well informed in regards to what happened, my current situation, and my future care. I can't say enough good things about the doctor. Thank you very much."
