She was attentive, thorough in reviewing my past records, and forward thinking in recommending exercise to incorporate into my routine that was workable for me. She is sensitive to my point of you, was encouraging and left me with a positive uplifting feeling for the way forward. She demonstrated competence by suggesting follow-up lab reports and a possible C-Scan when I was ready to do so. She was respectful of my sensitivities and did not insist any specific treatment, but offered her suggestions calmly and in a tone conducive to my listening, hearing and accepting her guidance. Her demeanor was friendly, professional and warm. I���m delighted to be under her care!
