    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!

    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.
