Good about discussing the next stage of treatment rather than possible later stages, which was understandable.

I really like Samantha James, she's good at explaining things, but I always feel a bit rushed. I know she's busy, but I don't see a doctor very often, and it takes a long time to get an appointment to begin with, the nurses takes all my vitals, then I have to explain everything to a student, then a quick review with Samantha and done, I'm out the door.I guess that's just the way medical practice Is these days.

Samantha James is an excellent provider. I would recommend her to anyone.
