Addressed my options and concerns when asked a question. Secondly, during the examination she raised a question which im glad she did otherwise I would didn’t know that the option might really help and I forgot to ask, I so appreciated her asking. Thank you doctor!

This was my first appointment with Dr. Ledia Samwil. I was very impressed with her from the moment she called me from the waiting room instead of having the assistant call from the waiting room. Once we entered the exam room she officially introduced herself and as we began the exam she explained each step she was taking. The interest she showed in my family history and present and future treatment for me was great. And she listens and responds. In case you can't tell I was very impressed with Dr. Samwil.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
