    This test did not directly lead to a treatment or care plan, but Drs. Nickerson and Hill were patient, explaining each step and the likely implications of findings.

    The resident and Dr. Nickerson were professional, kind and considerate during my appointment. Of all the appointments I've attended in the last few months, this one made me feel reassured that I was getting competent care. Genuine kindness and empathy from all the staff, especially from the doctors I saw.
