Nurse Rackus showed compassion and patience during my visit. As previously stated, I felt very comfortable and at ease asking her questions and expressing my concerns. Nurse Rackus was gentle and professional during my examination. She took the time to explain what she was doing, and why. I would definitely recommend her to others. She is truly one of the very best medical providers I have had in years.

It did seem like I had to ask about side effects and then she did go back to look it up, maybe they should do that from the beginning.

No followup from provider. All they did was post results in mychart. I asked questions and had followup questions and they disabled the messaging option. Nobody called me. And she rushed me at the end of the appointment as I was trying to express a concern. Terrible experience.
