I always have a pleasant experience here once getting to the back with the nurses and the front desk isn't so friendly for a women's office, but love my provider either way. She listens, and truly cares about my well being and health and after years of neglecting myself she understood me. Thank you for listening.

Always a very pleasant visit. Marlena is the best doctor I have had. She is so patient and makes you feel really comfortable and valued.
I was able to get an appointment within a reasonable amount of time. Marlena answered my questions and gave good suggestions and scheduled a follow up appointment to see if the protocol she recommended is working.
