Courteous and helpful stuff, everything was on time, clean surroundings I think very highly of my primary doctor, Dr. Kathryn G. She is extremely detail oriented and will check and go over things with me above and beyond. I am 74 years old. No doubt she has been one of the best primary doctors I have ever had.
