Everyone was great. I just wish I didn't have to wait almost a year to see her due to staffing issues after being referred by my primary care doctor.

My first time having an appointment with Carol Birch and it was a very good experience and eye opener. I'm sad she is retiring. Hopefully the Team replacing her will be as good as Carol Birch

Carol birch is outstanding and attentive with all her patients . She listens and cares about her patient's health and well being..She'll be missed Tremendously when she retires next year..She's the best provider I've had in a very long time. She definitely needs to be recognized for Accomplishments..All expense paid trip to a tropical vacation and a plaque placed inside the swedish weight loss honoring her for all her all work.

I have been working with Carol Burch for several yrs. She is very personable, as well as knowledgeable. Carol is a very caring person and makes me feel that I am important to her, not only as a patient but as a person, as well. I know she will retire in Feb 2024 and hate to lose her, although I know she deserves her retirement after a lifetime of serving others in such a selfless way.
