    Personable, knowledgeable, listens, asks relevant questions; pleasant and offers kindness as well as her expertise. Reassurance, as much as she can realistically.

    If you had a higher rating it, it would be from heaven. She is one excellent doctor. I had just started using Medicare and I forgot to do the Medicare B part and all the people there in that office help me and instructed me what to do. I mean I cannot thank God enough for these wonderful people.
