Ensign was my primary doctor for a number of years and thought she was fine, if not the most personable. It was when I started seeing specialists from other areas of CentraCare that I started to sense the significance of issues that had been missed or ignored for years. If you need someone to check the boxes that you did the thing and got the physical or whatever, great. Otherwise look elsewhere.
