Dr. King was a pleasure! She was sensitive to all of my needs regarding a very serious diagnosis. She gave me a thorough exam and then sat with me and discussed my situation presenting a very comprehensive plan clearly and concisely. She answered all of my questions and was empathetic, respectful, and extremely professional. I was very encouraged by the fact that she has plenty of experience and was very aware of the latest research regarding my diagnosis.
