Love Dr. Hillard!! I was a little nervous about switching providers when my old provider went out on maternity leave, but I really enjoy Dr. Hillard. She's kind, knowledgeable, and very good at her job.

I am very pleased with Dr. Hillard. She replaced Dr. Bennett, and she has shown concern, and she takes the time to listen thoroughly and that's a big plus in my opinion. Other offices I have to attend, like Atrium, are only interested in the here and now, and want to get you out of the office in an allotted time. Makes me feel I don't matter to them. Dr. Hillard takes the time needed to listen to every detail I am concerned about and her wisdom and knowledge makes me feel "ay home" so-to-speak. I really like her.
