I've had very good wellness checks at MCG / AU in the past in terms of the criteria in the questions above, but this was among the best in that regard. It made me feel healthier going through it ;o)

Dr Wilkins is honestly the most thoughtful physician I've ever seen. His willingness to listen and his patience with me was Incredible. I felt as though I was his only patient. I had needed to transfer my care because of insurance issues but the process seemed daunting. Dr Wilkins and his staff made it a choice I will never regret.
