Dr. King was very kind, extremely knowledgeable, thorough and clearly presents information that I needed as a patient. She took her time and answered all of my questions. She followed through with all referrals and her medical assistant responds very quickly on My Chart. I feel in good hands with Dr. King. She has made this stressful situation a bit easier on me and my family.
