Never felt rushed. Had a very detailed discussion about my issue. She listened then explained what she saw/thought with plenty of time for QA

Dr. Garrett. Is always friendly, patient oriented and down to earth. She discusses all options that are available when treatment may need to be changed. She gives her input but relies on the patient to make the final decision.
