Erin was awesome. It was the first time I saw her and she took the time to review my chart prior to the appointment. She also took the time to go through preventative health measures that weren't my main reason for the visit.

It was the first medical experience I have had where I felt like I was being included in what was happening rather than just being a source of information for the practitioner. The team spent so much time with me making sure I was ok with everything and that my questions were thoroughly answered.
