Care provider and office staff didn't act as if they were In a rush with your care unlike previous care providers I have experienced. Was willing to listen to you with patience. Great care provider to have as a first time pregnancy experience!

Dr. S made me feel so comfortable and was so professional. It was so peaceful. I was informed of the processes, procedures, and the resources provided to me alleviate a lot of the challenges I was facing as a new mom. The way she listened and took time to address my concerns was amazing as she didn't rush, but did everything necessary to ensure I was taking care of. Her care is par excellence.

When the nurse practitioner has a student in training, it's common practice to ask the patient whether or not they are comfortable with having a student nurse practitioner in the room with them while discussing their medical information. I was not asked. I was told.

She is calm, funny, and makes you feel safe and secure. I had a million questions and she answered them all. I hate paps but she made it bearable.
