  • [redacted] Due to my schedule, I was not able to get in and see my regular provider. [redacted] I was very impressed with the staff and especially the doctor I had seen. She took the time to actually listen to me and provide good feedback. She was open to prescribe a medication and labs and an ultrasound due to my concerns.

  • Love Dr Vardo - always listens and it never feels like a rushed appointment. It's clear she reads the chart ahead of time to refresh herself of the patient and doesn't just assume she'll get the info out of the appointment. But she also remembers details about her patients, which makes it easier to communicate. I respect her expertise and attention to current research in her field.
