Dr was well informed and easy to talk with.

Dr. Christante was friendly and right to the point. Although I was unhappy with what she had to say I have a great appreciation for her being straightforward with me about it. I became emotional but she was patient with me and I also appreciate that. I feel comfortable knowing I will be under her care in the future.
