Dr Atkins was very professional and kind, as always. She discussed my health issues thoroughly and was very clear in her explanations.
Dr. Atkins is wonderful, but it is very difficult to get an appointment with her. I make my annual wellness check appointment one year in advance!
I was seeing Dr. Atkins for a Medicare wellness exam and needed a steroid inhaler because I had developed asthma because of COVID because I have a long history of care with Dr. A, she knows exactly what to prescribe.
