Best doctor I was ever fortunate enough to be under the care of. She is incredibly smart, tenacious and compassionate. In an age of 15 minute appointments driven by Health Insurance dictates, she shines like a beacon of excellence.

Never had any Dr like her in my life. She really wants to find out what we have , she wants to find the reason of the problem. Usually Doctor wants to treat you for whatever you have but dont want to Know what is causing the disease. She wants to know everything. Also she has a BIG heart. Many positives words to describe her. Fisrt one is " Im Glad to have her as my PCP " .

I am in the healthcare profession and am very fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Michelson's. She conveys a sense of genuine caring while taking the time to make thoughtful, differential and accurate diagnoses. She makes sure that I understand her thoughts and the next steps. I hope she is never swayed by the seemingly overwhelming approach to healthcare these days......rush, rush, rush...time is money, etc. I recommended her to several of my friends and family. She is a rare breed in the ever changing healthcare environment. I feel so comfortable in her care.

Dr Michelson is an outstanding physician, the epitome of a skilled, caring doctor. I had to move out of state and honestly, one of my biggest concerns was that I didn't want to entrust my healthcare to anyone else. Her support staff are also outstanding.
