Dr was attentive. Listened to my concerns. Addressed all of them. Gave great guidance and insight.

Would have felt better if she had greeted my daughter and myself and introduced herself. Of course I knew who she was, but had never met her before. We knew she had been delayed by surgery so perhaps her normal routine was rushed. She was very thorough explaining my situation which I greatly appreciated.
