Excellent experience. I appreciate Dr. Amerson's friendly, upbeat, empathetic approach. She is focused, detailed, explains things clearly, and is quite efficient with the exam. My concerns were addressed and I'm already pleased with the results of an intervention she recommended. She is an exceptional doctor.

In my opinion, Dr. Amerson is one of the very few physicians who will take the time required for a thorough examination while explaining what she's seeing along with the prescribed treatment in detail. A rarity.
