friendly, prompt professional

Pessary Insertion / Removal

Your staff again exhibited professional competence; the removal and cleaning of the pessary was performed quickly and smoothly. Thank you. Specifically, Dr. Williamson takes her time, and always asks if there are any other issues/questions that she might answer. Very professional.

Katie Henderson, NP is absolutely fabulous. She is one of the most caring practitioners in the medical field.

Office Visit / Follow-up

I was highly satisfied with my recent follow-up visit with Dr. Hudson-Fraley because she took the time to genuinely listen to my partner (male) and my concern about a birth control that would prevent pregnancy and lessen the severity of the trauma of my monthly cycle. Dr. Hudson-Fraley was honest, forthright, warm, and kind. She is a provider I would recommend women--especially those with disabilities (I have autism and severe mental illness)--begin to build a trusting relationship with for OBGYN care.
