Dr. Smallwood, was very thorough in reviewing last year's labs and vaccine schedules. She recommended a coronary CT due to last year's cholesterol labs relative to my family history. She gave in depth explanation and we will get that scheduled. She knew the cost and relayed that to me. She gave me three options for more needed bloodwork. For a wellness visit it was extremely thorough and she took her time.
