I see Dr. Isbey on a regular basis, and the main reason I like her is because she listens attentively!! She is not the type of physician that just brushes you off, and for that I am grateful!!

I have lived all over the US and, as a result, have seen many different doctors. None compare to Dr. Susan Isbey. She has been my primary physician and trusted advisor since 1996. Not only is she an outstanding diagnostician, asking thorough and insightful questions; she is also a very empathetic listener. On top of that, she is witty and fun! I recommend her to all my friends because whether you are well or ill, you will want Susan Isbey in your corner. She and Nancy are a gift.
