Dr Wood is A GEM! Her knowledge & experience is deep & wide. In the years of being privileged to be her patient, Dr Wood has stabilized my asthma, arthritis, anxiety & diagnosed what could have been a life-threatening aortic abnormality as well as a colon anomaly. Dr. Wood is thorough & precise, leaving no stone unturned and no loose ends, including excellent referrals to NM specialists when needed. I am beyond grateful to Dr Wood for all of the above & I cherish her communication, kindness & compassion. Lastly, a reflection of Dr Wood is her wonderful support team that I refer to as her "A-Team" Angelica, Ami, Amanda. I HOPE DR WOOD RECEIVES KUDOS, ACCOLADES, AND NM AWARDS/REWARDS!!
