Dr. Additon (Mara) is very thorough, I appreciate that she takes into consideration my concerns regarding having a surgical procedure and explained to me necessity or not of having a procedure done including risk/benefit.

She was attentive and mapped out a plan of action and potential treatments, really putting my mind at ease.

I have always felt comfortable with the interactions I have had with staff. And they have been good about noting my questions even if they needed to be answered later because that was something another office could assist me with better. But I know they have helped getting me connected with appropriate referrals to get questions dealt with in order of what needed being addressed 1st

Provider was compassionate and caring to my diagnosis and answered the questions we had and let us know we can call and ask questions that we might have prior to our surgery. Very caring
