    Excellent! I felt listened to and understood. Options were explained to me and my input was sought. I was given the chance (repeatedly) to ask questions. The plan developed for next steps took my situation into account. I felt comfortable and would recommend Mitzi to others!

    Dr. Hawkins is the best. She was caring listened and made sure I understood what she was doing at each step of the way. The mirena placement was painful but Dr. Hawkins was thorough and worked to keep me comfortable with little pain as possible. I love her professional and calm demeanor.

And her courtesy and kindness with my concerns as well as feeling quite comfortable expressing to her openly as a transgender female my gender dysphoria intensity etc...

    This was a new patient appointment but doctor was unwilling and said was out of time to discuss some of the health concerns I had. She brushed those aside and I walked out of the clinic very agitated.

    Dr. Hawkins was very thorough and spent the time to explain what she was seeing and doing and sometimes would repeat them for my benefit if it appeared that I didn't quite comprehend the issue at first.

    When I came into the office my blood pressure was high but I was not offered a retestI was surprised that breast exams are not a part of annual appointments now. I was concerned about the insomnia I have the doctor mentioned that she doesn't like to schedule labs unless she absolutely has to.I am not the type to have to advocate for my health as in the past doctors always have. Now I feel like I need to get the strength to advocate for myself. Makes me wonder what I am paying.
