    I was seen by a student under Abigails supervision. As a recent student, I appreciated the balance of autonomy and oversight that Abigail gave. The student was very good but Abigail double checked everything and assured me the student had done a good job. Abigail had some follow-up questions and was very good at listening and being respectful. She got preventative care taken care of and sent me a lot of resources.
