    I believe she is a great doctor, however I just felt a little rushed and I left feeling unsure and unanswered questions. I thought we would talk about what was going on instead of just giving a diagnosis and providing medicine. Overall, I think she is great at what she does I just wish she took a little bit more time to ensure I was okay before leaving my appointment .
