She really knows her stuff. She is very thorough at explaining what the medication she is giving you and how it will react. Seems to really care about you. I will definitely recommend her to other people. And she also tells you about the possibilities that you have out there to search for other help and conditions.

What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Very good experience. Was not happy with the medical assistant that I had at my appointment on [DATE]. She came in to do an EKG and did not seem knowledgeable on where to place the stickers on my body. Next the MA drew my blood. Didn’t wash her hands, wear gloves, or use hand sanitizer before drawing my blood. Not only is that unsanitary for the sake of both me as the patient, and her as the medical professional. It’s also unsafe. For both parties.

In a rush to get you out of the office. Doesn't follow up on concerns from appointment to appointment. Easily dismisses health issues. Not thorough with anything. Never really has any clue about past history.
