The service was excellent, they always listened to the questions and answered clearly, explaining everything with great patience. [TRANSLATED]
Dr Fleming is beyond ¿very good¿. I left her a review in the previous comment section of this survey. I would recommend her to everyone. Extremely professional but at the same time makes one feel like your cares and concerns are never too small. ¿Very good¿ + 10.
Extremely knowledgeable, explained my care in a manner that was helpful for myself as well as my wife.
Please see my first comments in this survey. Dr Fleming is someone I trust 1000% with my care. Not only with my care but with my life. She is an elite care-giver.
