Dr. Ketha is a great doctor that actually listens and gives good feedback versus just her medical opinion. She involves you in decision-making and that's important

I felt that wasn't being completely listened to and understood when talking about things that I wanted, but doctor was more so focused on what they wanted for me instead.
