It does not get much better than the doctor and nurse that I had an encounter with. This was my best life experience as it relates to the doctor's ability to have a balanced discussion with me as a patient. Depth of discussion, listening skills, sympathy, and knowledge, in my estimation, is superior.

I had been trying to find answers to my problem for months and this was the first doctor to take the time to examine and diagnose my problem. I couldn't be more grateful for the thought and care they put into helping me.

Dr. Holder-Miurray is very thorough in her discussions about my condition. She explains everything in great detail, but shows concern at the same time. I greatly appreciated her being able to balance out discussing details of a scary potential outcome with compassion and a desire to try all other treatments available.
