Dr. Faulkner was excellent. It has taken some time to find a Dr. That listens to me, takes the time to answer all my questions, is knowledgeable about my procedure and insurance, and seems available if I need to discuss anything. I felt completely comfortable with her. I had already seen a couple other Dr.s about this procedure and was disappointed every time. |

I didn't feel particularly listened to. I understand fully why she declined to provide further services/not recommend me for surgery, but it felt like she wasn't hearing me but going through a script. Very expensive visit even after insurance for someone to tell me no then send me on my way |
