I am amazed at the time Doc spent with us. She made us feel like we were the only people she had to see that day. I was impressed that she was not feeling well that day and was coughing, but she was wearing a mask and told us this at the beginning of the visit. She was funny and serious at the same time. We are in great hands as we go through this process.
