She fitted me for a splint and arranged for physical therapy at the same appointment, reducing my need to come back again. It was so helpful!
It was refreshing to see the Xray images, for a change, personally being visually oriented it was informative and much appreciated.
Kathleen Tarkington was very nice and she was concerned enough to discuss my case with a surgeon. I received an update via Mychart within a day with results.
Very professional!
Loved her
