I don't know her name but the nurse or receptionist I gather went out of her way to have my appointment switched to virtual because I've been very sick with sepsis. I was hospitalized but now home though still running fever and having other symptoms that prevented me from coming in. It had been some time since I had seen Dr. Smallwood and really needed to. It was much appreciated.
