The doctor was just OK. Nothing really synod out to me about her or her personality. She never even told me it was nice to meet, which I feel is pretty basic conversation during a first time appointment.

There were things that my doctor said she was going to get back to me on via MyChart and she never did which is the only thing that made the quality of my experience go down from very good to good.
