This MD had a kind way of making you want to see her again.

SHC Patient, Nov 2017

1) Despite amount of time spent by both Dr Montacute and the student physician (Lance), the visit still felt rushed. 2) It felt like service was being pushed -- that it was not necessarily driven purely by medical necessity, but by medical possibility. Those two comments are coupled: I'm pretty good at asking questions to ensure medical necessity is driving recommendation service procedures, but that's harder to execute in a faster-moving environment. FWIW.
