Really like my ARNP (Melinda KR) at Ballinger Way Clinic...she's kind, professional, thorough and understanding.
Wonderful provider!
Undivided attention to my every concern, which leads to relief, confidence, and immense hope for solutions. In addition, the entire staff, and Lab tech were patient and gentle. I look forward with great anticipation to have my yearly appointment (for my own good), and am never disappointed. Such a caring and still professional atmosphere.
