I am so impressed with Dr. Wallace and her staff's ability to accommodate seeing me after a medical event. I knew Dr. Wallace's schedule was full, but she made time for me.
Reviewed on Sep 30, 2024
Dr. Wallace describes all procedures and tests very clearly and accurately. Most remarkable is a small gesture: Dr. Wallace held my hand before the surgery started and the anesthesia kicked in. This caring human gesture to quell my anxiety and provide reassurance is significant. Why? Dr. Wallace does not see her patients as numbers in a queue but as people with all our attendant quirks and medical issues. She is kind, skilled, and a top doctor. I am so blessed to have her as my Gyn/urologist.

It took a long time to get this appointment. When I was logged in for 20 minutes I got a phone call from a nurse saying the doctor was behind schedule. She rescheduled me for 2 hours later. I waited 25 minutes to finally be "seen".
