      I am so glad I have Dr. Brichard as my primary care physician. I think she is exactly the right doctor for me! I can talk to her, she gives me pertinent information, she covers all the important bases, she is efficient but not rushed, and she is kind. Thanks, Dr. Brichard!

      This is a very good doctor, but this last visit she was very irritable and impatient
