    5 out of 5 patient rating

    She takes the time to listen, and then respond appropriately. She is well versed in her training and expertise. She is cheerful, attentive and professional. She offers appropriate guidance and recommends what she deems the best choice for a course of treatment, but does not demand that you choose that course. If you decline that choice, she offers alternatives or cautions if warranted.
