She asked plenty of questions that revolved around my health and familyâ€™s health history to get an overall picture of mine. I thought that was pretty nice.

I felt I received a thorough physical exam with Dr Sefcovic yesterday. She was personable, easy to talk to and informative. She made me feel at ease and she talked me through the entire exam. After having to wait for my annual physical beyond my one-year schedule, I worried that I would not be able to establish a meaningful doctor-patient relationship. After my appointment with Dr Sefcovic, I feel confident that I this is no longer a concern. What a relief! In short, I really liked her and felt she was a sincere and caring person.
