She’s excellent and really thoughtful. Never feel liked she’s rushed to get to the next patient, which is antithetical to how NM operates these days. Need more doctors like Dr Aleppo, who are concerned about the quality of their patient contact vs the quantity. I would love to think you actually care about these surveys…hope springs eternal.
