Good experience - she cares!
Good.
Our doctor mostly punted this appointment to a young doctor who didn't know my mother and, judging from the notes on my health, misunderstood a lot. This is understandable because my mother is 95 and doesn't hear well, but it would have been better with my mother's regular doctor. We came for a regular checkup. While we were there my reported some pain in her upper arms. Between the two doctors, they both felt her upper arms, which caused her additional pain, but both did so through her clothes. Neither actually looked at her arms.
Dr. Paul is very patient and effective.
Dr. Paul give my mother excellent care thru the years. She is very warm, attentive and responsive to my inquiries thru my heath.
Very good.

Dr.Paul is an exceptionally fine doctor. She is professional, warm, a great diagnostician and follows through immediately.

I always have a very good experience with my care provider, call me to let me know about my lab result. And that's very good.
The job of a caregiver (daughter) of a dementia person can be very challenging. Every day I am grateful that Dr. Paul is my mother's physician. Just knowing she is there if I need her makes this an easier time. Dr. Paul is the best!!
