She was by far the kindest doctor I have come in contact with. She was sincere and personable and helped my daughter feel at ease. I did give a 1 in the discussion of risks, because the result of the treatment was nothing like I imagined it would have been or expected it to be. I was given the idea that it would be easy and painless and it was the opposite of that.
