    Dr. Gilligan is always delightful. She is helpful, friendly and understanding of how nervous I sometimes am about my health. And she never makes me feel stupid about any of the questions I come up with for her. Please tell her thank you for all she does!

    I feel like the provider has good knowledge and experience, but cared more about keeping on schedule than listening to me and caring how I was actually doing.
