    KINDNESS was stressed by fun reminders on the wall; and kindness was practiced by all in the office. The "climate" of the office had a "cuddly" feel to it which was just what I needed after a 2 week stay in hospital and a challenging illness . . . It was so nice and yet professional.

    Dr Joy is very personable and knowledgeable. She answers all my questions and provides new thoughts and treatment for my health care. She shows true interest in me as a patient and my health care needs. I wish all the doctors I see showed that same interest.
