She wasn't all kind and palliative, she was direct and straight to the point while still remaining respectful which I really admired. No bullshit, she seems very confident in her abilities and knows how to efficiently and effectively inform and examine her patients.

Dr. Faulkner explained our options in a detailed but accessible way. She did have one concern before we could move forward with surgery but wrote a referral within Emory so I could potentially get it seen about more quickly than an existing appointment I have outside of Emory.
