You need to add higher rating values to your scale because I cannot sing praises for Karen Houck with just a "Very Good". I need "Totally Excellent" or "Awesome" or "Too fabulous for words." She is THE best listener I have ever encountered in medical personnel and she is extremely caring, knowledgeable, informative and good natured. I appreciate her so much.

Dr. Houck is absolutely wonderful and I feel so fortunate to have her on my team! She's not only an extremely skilled doctor, she's a very caring human being! She consistently takes time to listen to, and address my anxieties/concerns. Many thanks to both her and her nurse, [...]!
