          The doctor was very thorough in answering our questions, along with friendly, and also courteous of my daughter, the pain, and how she was feeling, answering any questions for her, making her feel comfortable, even though she was very nervous in the visit, along with the nurse, Sonia was her name, brought us peace because that was our mother's name that passed away due to cancer. It was just a wonderful visit and would recommend your care team anytime.
