As always we worked on my concerning medical issues and together. Potential for improvement was explained carefully to me and I agreed to proceed with the plan my pcp had chosen among several options presented. I feel Dr. SCHOONOVER has considered all angles of my approach to my health and has done a masterful job of orchestrating her approach to ensure the best results. As I told her, under her care overall I am feeling better than I have for some time and I believe this current plan will result in continued improvement. I ( and my wife ) are very pleased with this doctor, her nurse, and their team.

My husband died and Dr. Schoonover was very interested about how I am adjusting without him. She is such a caring doctor. It will be very difficult to replace her when she retires.
