I had quite a few things I wanted to talk with her about and she took care of them all. It was a great experience.

She seems quite competent at her profession & was very good at communicating with me concerning the medical advice that i needed, which was “appreciated,� though her lack of acknowledging the pressures i was under at the time in attempting to finalize the publishing of my book & not saying even one word about it set me back a little. But she does seem like a very capable doctor, nevertheless.
