Dr. Lavender is simply The Best!! Friendly and kind as well as professional; I am always (very happily!) surprised that when she enters the office, it's as if I'm there only person she has to see that day - I never feel rushed. She listens... She remembers who I am and what I'm like (exercise nut)... Etc. I'm so grateful to have her as my PCP.

Dr. Lavender is a wonderful doctor. She took as much time as I needed to go over several things and together we made a plan for what comes next. She is a very good listener. Julie (or Julia) was the intake nurse and was most pleasant and encouraging. I did not catch the name of the nurse who did my EKG, but she was also very attentive to her work and to me as well.
