Patient Comments
She was better over phone as I had time to think of important questions to ask. In office I found her cold and didn't care to have me included in her decision for surgery after my biopsy came back Benign in which she had me so nervous a month prior as she felt cancer and spoke of taking my arm as it was not big deal as I cried n was emotional. She didn't feel biopsy right so I will see another dr as I felt like a number until the call when I had questions she then answered better knowing I said im getting 2nd opinion.
Thank you.
Fine
Very good.
Okay
