I saw Dr. Jennifer Steines and was very happy with her. She explained my condition and options very well. She gave me a sheet of written instructions and where to purchase necessary items. Her nurse was equally good and was professional but personable. I really appreciate their care for me I give them high recommendations.

Dr. Day is the best doctor in the whole world!! She listens to every single concern you have, she does a thorough exam and talks through all of her findings to make sure you feel less concerned and know the next steps!! I also love that she always takes her patients’ preferences into treatment and care!! The Group is out of network for my insurance but I happily pay the additional expense to receive the quality, personalized care that Dr. Day provides!!
