Very good at what she knows

Although it was my first visit with her I felt like she knew me as well as my medical history. She listened & asked important questions. Explained my options and her advice clearly to me and other family members with me. She offered to see me quickly if certain symptoms became worse. I was greatly relieved and appreciative of her making time for me so quickly. I opted to continue watching my pressure in both eyes with my drs. In Maine until such time the pressure increases.
