I was most impressed with Dr Hilton. She was very knowledgeable and had a knack for explaining my options to both me and my family. She answered all of our questions and we left the appointment feeling very confident with her and her team.

I felt rushed. I don't feel confident in the direction of my care and would have liked more in depth explanation of why this condition happened and in depth next steps. It seemed like she couldn't be bothered to explain it to me.
