"Both Elizabeth and Dr. Ganahker were both very respectful. I also felt welcomed when called back to the appointment room as well as when Dr. Ganahker came into the room. I felt they both listened to what I had to say and I felt comfortable with speaking to each of them. Dr. Ganahker was kind and very knowledgeable and explained everything in a way that I could understand. The timing from when the nurse left the room and when the Dr. Came Into the room was great. I liked that he was straight forward short and to the point. I didn't feel rushed or judged with either of them. I would recommended both the nurse and the doctor to my close friends and or family"
