she is a great doctor
Amazing!
The best doctor I have ever had and probably the best in the world! I am not exaggerating when I say this - she is by far the most compassionate, thorough, educated and caring doctor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Truly a great human being with a huge heart and you can see the passion she has in her work and how she speaks to us. This goes for Marqui as well! Both of them are the best in the business and are both very knowledgeable and all around just great people with excellent communication. They bring peace to our minds and hearts during the uncertain times and re-ground us with positivity and professional direction when our uncertain emotions/thoughts take over. We could go on forever with positive feedback! Thank you all so much for everything.
