In patients' words
"I’m finally able to say I found a doctor who was thorough, informative, heard my concerns and took appropriate tests that I had requested of other doctors for years."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Blanchard)"Although the nursing staff was GREAT, Dr. Jodi was underwhelming at best. ... We felt like we didn’t matter. ... If you want someone who actually cares about you I think you should look elsewhere"
— Vitals (Dr. Berendzen)"Dr. Carnett had no interest in my situation as she was more concerned with flirting with her intern than listening. Rude, unprofessional and zero patient concern."
— RateMDs (Dr. Carnett)"The communication of the entire staff was outstanding — from offering explanations of what I should be feeling to preparations among each other for the next step. The safety and confidence I felt in my care team allowed me to focus, not stress."
