She carefully monitors trends in patient data and submits referrals to expert specialists when she detects the necessity. At the same time, she is cognizant of the patient's right to self-determination and actively discusses proposed changes in the medical regimen with me, the patient. I am so fortunate that she is my PCP,

  • [redacted] The physician visit was severely inadequate, lasting barely 10 minutes. She was very nice and appeared to listen, but was she familiar with my medical history before entering the room? I doubt it. I had to specifically request standard necessary blood work (A1C tracking), indicating reactive rather than proactive care. [redacted]
