I just love Dr Newlin, he is very caring and has a great bedside manner and knows what he is doing and that makes me feel comfortable
- No RatingReviewed on 11/25/2024
Felt as though provider attributed everything to stress and went solely based on tests results instead of my actual health symptoms and family history. Extremely frustrating to insinuate that how I feel everyday (and have felt for years) is caused by recent stress and stress only.
