    Amazing! She was exactly what I expected. Someone who genuinely cared about my care. I could tell by her tone, eye contact and wording she used that she genuinely cares and wanted to make sure I understood the process for bariatrics. Many doctors can be kind but only a select few have that spark where you know they are in the right field. Her passion shines.
