Staff is very attentive and thorough.

Smart, compassionate, caring. Listens to the patient. Her staff mirrors her. You can tell she cares who works with her as the whole patient experience from initial phone call through the moment I walked out was exceptional. Her skill level and bedside manner puts you at ease while the procedure is being performed. The two hour trip to be seen and treated by her was well worth it!
