I have been working with her for over ten years. I see her twice a year for lidocaine injections in my neck and back which keeps me active and able to do everything I want to. Which includes triathlons and roller derby. Once my blood work came back with odd results. She referred me to someone. When she followed up and didn't think that doctor investigated enough she personally called another doctor for a second opinion and had me seen that week.
She is smart, doesn't talk too much and makes educated decisions
