She carefully explained everything to me what decisions to make, and how the treatment will turn out, which made me relax a lot. She was great. Ms. Painter knows how bad I want this surgery and she made it very easy and not scary.

The medical student and surgeon spent an ample amount of time listening to all my concerns and also making the visit personable. The many options given were clearing explained and my choice was easy to make. I appreciated that the physician also gave me her recommendation along with the options. This did not sway my decision but made me feel mire positive about the choice I made. The exam was thorough and the findings relayed. This also made my decision to move forward with surgery any easy choice.
