    Outstanding physician in every regard. She addressed all concerns and did so thoroughly and in a way that was easily understandable. She did not make Md feel rushed. She heard my concerns - both those spoken and those not spoken. Instinctive. Smart. Well read. Up-to-date on all published peer reviewed medical & scientific literature. So much better than I could have even anticipated. I feel assured that my care will be the best it can be. In a word (or two): World class.
