As a former college professor, I am giving Dr. Wood an A+. It is the first time in my 77 years of age that I have seen a professional doctor with so much empathy. She not only addresses the health issues giving me choices, but she goes out of the way. She prepared me psychologically for my cataract operation the following day. Dr. Wood is superb! NW is lucky having her in the team.

She is by far one of the best physicians I've ever had. Think about that for a moment. I'm 52 and I can count 3-4 providers I've ever had who I believe are truly at the top of their class. Ask most patients and this Is often due to providers making eye contact and actually listening after asking questions. She does this. Trust is made by the communication you have from the very beginning. I trust my new doctor. She is knowledgeable, thinks out of the box and views me as a partner in my care. Now, how do we replicate her?

Dr. Wood obviously did her homework because she had specific health questions. She also examined me and suggested a few exams I need to have and made referrals because I need to be seen by a couple of doctors. I was impressed with her services. I am glad she is my new primary doctor.
