    She was nice and kind. Although I don't have much to say because she was there mainly as extra help. She brought up an idea to bring up to my doctor and I will gladly do so in hopes my bronchitis is just asthma.

    Dr Moreno was great. I was referred to her by my PCP. She was very personable and knowledgeable. She seemed to have great camaraderie with her MA and the resident who was following her that day.
