Dr. Long has been my Doctor for over 33 years now... she delivered my daughter, who is now 32! She no longer delivers babies, but has provided me with the most incredible health care possible. She is empathetic, caring and an amazing Doctor, who really listens to you, stays up to date on medical knowledge (truly amazes me the extent of her expertise!) and explores all avenues determining the best and safest treatment. I couldn’t recommend her more highly and am so grateful she’s been there for me all of these years.
