She is the only doctor that has legitimately taken the time to explain every single detail of my medical history, in depth to me- and actually wanted me to understand the reasonings lab work of things needed, to get from one point to another in healing whatever is going on with my crazy health! She is extremely thorough, and precise in her diagnosis, not to mention calming and supportive, with whatever your issues may be. The timing of her replies, even through an email/text is second to none, as well! She is the ONLY doctor that I have ever felt truly comfortable with, in a tele-health call- as far as seeing and understanding what could be wrong with me; at a time where so many doctors are always in such a hurry and don’t mind telling you so!
