Pullen would rather do surgery first and foremost. She couldn't talk about anything else other than putting me under. Showed up for an appointment when scheduled according to MyChart, showed up as she was walking out the door to leave for the day. Can't make up own diagnosis...I had to lead the way. Maybe another 10 years experience will do her well.

I have two teenage daughters who really love Dr. Pullen. She is very thorough, speaks directly to them on their level, and always has a fun sense of humor. She is a great role model for my two girls.
