Dr. Bachman was wonderful during our session. She asked a lot of questions and then asked follow-up questions on my answers. She was very professional and comforting and discussing the path forward. I love being under her care.

Very hard to communicate quickly with the doctor or her office. Love Dr. Brachman but the lack of timeliness of communication back and forth is a problem.
