Dr. Pocius was thoughtful and compassionate in her bedside manner, never making us feel rushed and patiently answering my husband's questions about female anatomy. And when it came time for the procedure, she made sure to tell me what she was doing at each step and executed the whole thing efficiently with command. I'm so grateful to live in an area where our healthcare providers prioritize the human.
