Nurse and doctor both are very nice!
I was taken back on time for my appointment. Doctor was empathetic and kind while at the same time thorough as a practitioner. She listened to my concerns about not having a pap this year given my history. Check out was quick and easy.
All of my OB appts have been a good experience. Both of the providers I've seen, Dr. Akoto and Lauren, have been very pleasant and caring. I appreciate how quickly I'm taken back, the medical assistants and front office staff are also very nice.
