It was a great first appointment and went great. Very personal and attentive
5/23/2026
Candace spent a great deal of time with me. I was surprised by how attentive to my concerns she was. She listened and made recommendations that we thoroughly discussed. I will admit, I was skeptical about meeting with an NP instead of the doctor. However, Candace was extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and introduced herself and background that made me comfortable. I would highly recommend her to others and will gladly go back to her!
