I was extremely happy with how they handled what was what was going through and I was really impressed with the way they listened. They didn't hurt me out or in, they listen to what I said. And in fact, they listen so closely that after I had already scheduled my further appointments in the future. They called me back. And wanted to schedule more appointments sooner because they knew I would be busier in the fall. I was impressed with that.

Katherine listened carefully to all my comments and concerns, and then asked great followup questions. She then clearly explained my options and why I might consider each one.
