What would you tell family and friends about your experience with this provider?
Courtney and Sheila are great at getting messages to Sarah when I need to. They are very caring. Sarah is great. She actually listens to you. If you don't understand a question she will explain it a different way so you understand what she is asking. She has you be part of the decision making in your treatment plan. She will ask if you think a med is working or maybe try something different. She'll ask when you'd like to come back and give a suggestion. She always reminds me that if I need anything in the mean time to reach out.

Ms. Rings is a very caring, in depth provider. She is very thorough, understanding and easy to talk too. She does not make you feel rushed or like you’re just a number to get in and out. She takes her time and makes sure she understands where you’re coming from and vise versa she makes sure you understand what she is saying and telling you. She had a positive attitude and great bedside manner. I would recommend her to family and friends in a heartbeat.
