I have the utmost respect and I just love my doctor there, Dr. Gaffney. She treats me so good. It's really great.

Overall, I had a good experience. It just felt pretty quick and we didn't talk about any of the underlying root problems.

And she never asked about any of my other prescriptions. [redacted] But overall, she was very nice and kind.
