    I literally couldnÕt ask for a better provider. She is genuine, personable, explains thoroughly, presents the options clearly, and empowers me to make the best decision in consultation with her. She should be cloned and sent to every practice. IÕve seen her for about eight years and sometimes only see her once or twice a year. From the beginning, she always remembers me and my case well, and makes me feel welcome and seen. She should be studied for training on bedside mannersÕ best practices. I have several chronic health conditions and sees many doctors every month, which can be exhausting; I always look forward to seeing her. Give her a raise!

    I can't recommend Abby high enough. She reviewed my medical history ahead of time, and included me in making a good plan for both me and my baby. She is extremely knowledgeable and made sure I understood before moving on.
