Patient Comments
The doctor was very nice, took her time, and explained her thoughts regarding the condition I was seeing her for.I have spent a lot of time in doctor's offices over the past 4 years as my husband has throat cancer. So I feel at this point I have a lot of points of comparision. My husband and I both thought she was very nice and knowledgable.
Dr. Pettigrew took time and explained the things concerning my condition that no other doctors ever discussed with. She insured that all my concerns and questions were answered. I left the appointment understanding better what I needed to do for self-help. She displayed honest concerns about my conditions and offered much needed advice.
