Jennifer Starr is genuinely interested in my medical needs and was very thorough. She was professional and had a very caring, calming manner when she spoke to me. I sincerely appreciate her expertise and excellent spirit. I'm so thankful that I got in to see Jennifer so quickly. I was anxious about my CKD for various reasons. She's exactly who I needed to see! Looking forward to my next visit! Thank you, Jennifer for such wonderful care!
