I am so happy with my nurse practitioner Monica McGowan. I have so much confidence in her. I always feel she takes her time and makes me feel like I’m the only patient she is seeing. Good listener!! Always explains things to me and concludes asking if I have any other issues or questions.

I am very impressed with all of the nurse practitioners at Bethalco. I get very good care from every single one of them. The staff is always courteous and kind. They go out of their way to meet any need. They're wonderful. I just don't have any complaints at all. It's probably the only office I've ever been in where I do not mind at all seeing a nurse practitioner. They take time, they're interested in what's going on with you as a person. They're great. I appreciate everything they do.
