Great bedside, and appreciated flexible thinking in reconstructive options. Really so important to me to have female surgeons and providers. The care is so much better than with men

I noted that the wait time was longer than 15 minutes. When I got to the office, I was immediately informed that the office was running a little behind schedule. Also, I have recommended this office and provider to a family member who is currently being treated by this provider.
