This doctor is a very good doctor. I would recommend her to anybody. The only problem I had was I just didn't have enough time to convey to her everything that I needed her to understand what's going on because this sarcotosis condition I have has been going on so long. But she understands the necessity of the danger of what's going on, so I really appreciate that. I can't say nothing better about her. Thank you.
