    Great.

    SUGAR HOUSE HEALTH CENTER

    Dr Pippitt is someone who treats me as someone that she knows. What a gift! She knows I'm anxious and keeps that in mind when we discuss things. She goes over past visit discussions, we talk about concerns I have presently. She is very involved and active in her efforts to provide me with excellent medical care. She invites me in decision making and this is of huge importance to me. Always takes me a while to trust a new doctor, I do "doctor shopping"to try them out to see how I feel the relationship will be for me. I'm sooo glad I took a chance with Dr Pippitt.
