Dr. Speed is an excellent doctor. Very personable with great bedside manner. Dr. Speed made sure I am very comfortable. Her staff was able to fit me very short notice.

I have not in my entire life come across another doctor as compassionate and caring as Dr. Speed. I am more than grateful to my primary care physician who referred me to Dr Speed so that she could perform my breast surgery. On the day of the surgery she made sure she came to check on me in the waiting area I told her I was very nervous and she gave me words of encouragement and told me it was normal for me to feel this way. We prayed together. I love Dr. Speed and so will you!!

Dr, Speed is the most caring doctor. She treats her patients like their her own family. I just wish l would have know about her sooner. Like my god says weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning light. And Dr. Speed is truly a shinning light that god has place in a lot of people lives.
