Her bedside manner is such that initially she could come across as a bit stern. I have been going to her for over three years and she is really a good doctor and when you get to know her you should like her. She is straight forward and tells you what she thinks, but that is what she is supposed to do. I go to her for advice and prescriptions and after getting to understand her personality a bit I have grown to like visiting her. For some, she will be an acquired taste, however I find the straight forward attitude refreshing. If you are very thin skinned it will take a little getting used to. The office is very responsive and has provided prescriptions the same day I requested. To be able to see a good cardiologist in this small town and avoid a 55 mile drive to Asheville is great.
