I am in the process of getting And she made sure that I am a priority and not just a number. Her personality and bedside manner is very warm and inviting. I can’t wait to go through this process. She put my mind at ease when it comes to safety or any other concerns. Her office feels Intimate and not at all like we are being mask produced in an assembly line. Which is a very big plus because you feel that there is a more personal touch to her work.
