The first time I saw this provider she was great. This last visit she seemed bothered that I was there, like I was wasting her time. She clearly did not care about me as a person. Will not schedule with her again.

I honestly cannot say thank you enough. I didn't even want to have the appointment for this issue because of fear and also the awkward nature, but I had been in so much pain for so long. Carla was kind above and beyond my hopes for the visit. She listened to me talk about my issues and came up with a plan to get them resolved as quickly as possible; she did all of this with kindness and compassion. 5/5 isn't a high enough score. Thank you!!
