Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr Gilmer, her nurse, ultrasound tech and receptionists are all very friendly, respectful, accommodating and attentive.

Breast Ultrasound

I was given antibiotics for an infection and told they would take care of the lump. I was also to but schedules for an ultrasound. There was a mix up with the ultrasound and when i went the ultra sound tech would do the ultrasound because the lump is in my breast not my chest wall. I am still waiting on another appointment. The lump is still there and has not decreased in size as I was told it would.

Physical Exam / Check-up

The wait to be seen was very brief, the nurse was kind and efficient, and Dr Gilmer was friendly and knowledgeable. She really took her time so the appointment didn't feel rushed, and I was able to ask all of my questions. I left feeling well cared for.
