Virginia was fantastic! I sought her out because I knew she had expertise in menopause and because she is an FNP. She was extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and professional. She addressed my health promotion needs while I was in for an episodic visit. She completely involved me in every aspect of my care and listened very well, and respected my choices. I'm a fan and will seek her out for future visits and primary care. I'll also be referring friends to her.
