Dr. McAuliffe was so professional and so kind. She understood our problem and addressed our concerns. She shared excellent knowledge with us and drew for us exactly what she planned to do in surgery. She left us feeling confident about the surgery and about choosing to have her perform the surgery. We found "a good one" as my daughter-in-law expressed.

All the staff were exceptional but Dr. McAuliffe was truly amazing. I have never had a Dr. Spend that much time explaining everything and answering questions. At no point did I ever feel like she was rushing to move on to the next patient. This is a very difficult process to be going through but she made it easier.
