She was absolutely THE BEST! Her bedside manner was impeccable and her concern for me as a person was so refreshing! She understood what had brought me to the clinic and allowed me to participate in the decision-making of my treatment. She explained what her thought process was and explained about what she thought was causing my issues. I am so grateful for Dr. Paul and her kindness.
