Patient verified via Press Ganey

I want to give my provider the biggest thank you. I feel like a lot of Doctors can learn from her because when I became her patient, she listened and notes while I was talking. She did her medical research on me before I even came for my first appointment. I was very impressed. There are a lot of doctors don't even listen anymore. A lot of doctors kind of treat patients all the same. They just do what they believe is best for you without caring about your concerns. Even when I got my biopsy, she had told the person that was doing the procedure the concerns I had. I really appreciate that. It's rare to find the doctors now, but I can honestly say this was a good doctor and I hope whoever train under her take after her footsteps.
