Dr. Senica provided outstanding care and understanding during my appointment on April 24, 2024. She carefully explained: the X-rays, medication necessities, future surgery possibilities. Dr. Senica took all the time to answer my questions, showed examples of possible problem areas, communicated with me thoroughly and in ways I (non-medical) could clearly understand. She is a professional and dedicated physician.
