    We went over options. She was clear and open to my questions. I feel we came to a decision in an informed, collaborative manner.

    Dr. Sullivan has been my PCP for years now. She always listens carefully to my concerns, and she answers my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully. Instead of just giving her recommendation and leaving it at that, she really goes the extra mile to ensure I understand my options before making decisions. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and competent. I absolutely trust her with my health.
