Gynecological Problem Visit

Dr. Gilmer is not my doctor. Dr. McCarthy was not in town when I called with a problem, and Dr. Gilmer agreed to see me. I initially scheduled a time, was held up and thus was late, and she still rescheduled and saw me. She was very kind and professional. She completed my exam, and staff let me know about lab results following the appointment. I very much appreciate her seeing me.
