    Dr. Jennings has excellent listening skills and a wonderful "bedside manner" which makes it easy to share my concerns and ask questions. I feel fortunate to have found a primary physician to partner with me in my health care who is a true professional.

    Dr. Jennings has been my primary care provider for about five years and is always on top of my case, follows up from previous ailments and shows authentic concern for me and for my health. Having said that, I hope to see her less this year than last, in which multiple UNRELATED issues kept bringing me back to see her. It helps that her staff reacts to my requests to please get in SOON and that Dr. Jennings responds very quickly to messages sent through My Chart.

    This was the second time we met in after two years as she was out on maternity leave last year. After my appointment this week, it confirmed once again that she is an excellent Dr. and will refer her to others when appropriate.

    There are not many doctors like Dr. Jennings she listen not try to rush you out, helps with solutions she respects your input, doesn’t make you feel like you don’t have choices. Always courteous from the time she walks in to the time she walks out, also ask what do I think about certain situations with my well being. Truly A Blessing.
