I wish you had excellent as a choice for this doctor. I'm not exaggerating by saying the care, concern and professionalism of this doctor was wonderful. She took time to show me my CT scans and explain my diagnosis'.

Every one was very nice. We waited over an hour for our doctor appointment.

A very intelligent and knowledgable, caring human being explained the results of the CT scan clearly and gave her opinion on the results. I really liked her and would highly recommend her to anyone. I chose to see a specific doctor instead of her in one year, because I want a definitive and hopefully final resolution to this medical question. I suspect she would be able to give me the same information, but, just in case the news isn't good, better to hear the next steps from a person who could operate to try to save me from the issue.
