Katy listens and explains things well and is very knowledgeable and thorough.

Google Reviews • Forefront

She’s wonderful. Listens and takes her time

Google Reviews • Forefront

I was seen today for a suspicious spot on my leg. The nurse looked at it first and said they’d definitely need to do a biopsy. Katy came in and confirmed and she explained to me what type of “spot” I had. A biopsy was done and I’ll be called with the results. Katy and the nurse were both very good with me and the anxiety I had regarding the biopsy. I would definitely return to be seen by her since Marie Creese will be retiring.
