    Top notch treatment was given to me by all of the staff with whom I interacted with. I rated the score below the highest-ranking for the minor issues that I experienced while utilizing My Chart. Issues can oftentimes arise when determining what medical procedures have been completed versus when additional appointments need to be set up. Conversations regarding my questions led me to the answers I was looking for.

    Dr. Tower is wonderful!!! When I started seeing Dr.Tower I was miserable, with almost headaches everyday. The treatments and medication that she began has changed my life and the life of my family. Now no only have a couple headaches/migraines a month vs almost everyday. Thank you Dr. Tower for changing my life!!

    Why can't I read the results? It states I need to read in media???? What is that. Of course I'm alarmed when my results are not positive. I do not want to wait for a call. I have the right to read this results like other test results.

    I've been going through this medical system for the last two years.And there are a few people that stand out to me as far as how comfortable I was made to feel, how well I've been heard listened to and respected, and Kara is definitely one of them. She was gentle, which was so important with my situation, extremely accommodating, as far as how to position me due to the fact, it's very difficult for me to lay on my back. It was a painful experience, but seriously, the way I was treated by BOTH women made it so much more tolerable. I would refer my loved ones to her which says it all for me ??

    Dr Tower is the best. I go to her every 12 weeks for Botox injections for migraines. She does such a great job that I barely feel them. She keeps me comfortable and relaxed and it goes very quickly. She has helped me get my life back.
