I love how thorough she is in trying to help you feel your best. She always takes time to understand where I am coming and makes me feel heard. I truly appreciate her care, not just about my physical well being but also whatever else is going on in my life.

09/12/2025

Megan helps with troubleshooting things and talking through things instead of just referring you to the next person that can help you. I appreciate a provider that is the first line of communication about things and is also willing to help you through them instead of deferring to someone else to talk through things. She has excellent attention to detail and is very thorough.

I had very little wait time in the wait area before my appointment and very short wait time once in the exam room. Megan was very kind caring and professional during my recent well visit. She was very thorough reviewing my labs, answered all my questions and I felt comfortable with action steps needed until my next visit. I highly recommend Megan and her assistant Laura!
