#5. Very good.

This is why she came so highly recommended. She is patient, thoughtful & professional. She will not make a decision without consulting with me. She really thinks through her plan for treatment and explains it thoroughly. Most importantly, when I leave the dr. a message on MyChart, her nurse responds w/in 24 hours.
