        DcSommer listened carefully to my questions and her answers were clear. She recommended a sonogram for the pain I am having in my breast where I had cancer. I feel very fortunate she is my gynecologist.

        I have always been fond of Dr. Sommer, but that particular day, she didn't seem interested in taking any time with me to address my concerns. She was quick to dismiss my questions, didn't ask any follow up questions to assess my situation and was half way out the door while answering my question leaving me no time to ask anything further.
