I was greeted immediately by front desk staff on my arrival, and the wait time was very short this morning. The assistant who called me into the exam area Mayra was polite and kind. Dr. Cole is always friendly and still professional, and explained her findings from the exam and proposed plan. I really appreciate the way Mayra repeated back to the doctor everything that she was told to document in the medical record. Biopsies were performed with addition of gentle distraction by Mayra, which I found very helpful. As usual, a good experience.
