The BUSY doctor was impatient to get me out of her office and acted like I needed to be educated about a medical condition in my own body that I actually know fairly well. I think it was near the end of her day and she had many things to do and I understand, but just passing that along.

I've never been treated so well! Dr. Bairey Merz was amazing! She and Pauline (the resident) were well prepared about my history and were very encouraging about seeking out my diagnosis and treatment plan. I felt I was in very capable hands for the first time since my heart attack.

Very attentive and knowledgable and compassionate too listened to what I had to say but also they were very prepared with a game plan for me and my needs . Very efficient . I needed to have blood work done , and they had the phlebotomist come directly to me In the exam room , never had that experience before I was impressed and thankful at the same time that it was done on the spot . I was thrilled and appreciated the extra mile they went to accommodate me. Loved it
