I absolutely adore Dr. Atherton-Staples! She is warm, pleasant, personable, informative and a true professional. I have been with her for several years and I truly believe that our partnering has been divinely ordered. The entire Team at this location is fabulous, but I have to give a special thank you to Precious, who was my nurse today. She was absolutely wonderful and engaging. My experience today was fantastic, as usual.
