This provider is very special. She is intuitive and she really listens and sees things that make her a champion at practicing the "art" of medicine. She has a way of making me (a patient) feel ok and empowered about my health.

My normal PC could not see me. So the help line set me up with this video visit. The doctor was excellent! Very concerned about my condition and was able to figure out what was wrong with me. Put me on the right medication and now I'm starting to feel better! I want to thank her very much for her caring and kind advice!

Wasted time and not helpful. Dr arrived smiling, chatted about weekend. Her questions had already been answered by admitting attendant. My motto has always been 'when the attendant neglects their own self care, they can't do much to help me'. I think we both wasted our time, therefore will not schedule another appt.
