I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Packard. I've been seeing her for many years and she has helped me with several different pregnancies. She is hands-down. The best doctor I've ever had. She cares so much about her patients, and puts so much time and energy in making sure she is taking the best possible care of them. She is very attentive, detailed, thorough, brilliant and kind. I truly cannot think her enough for all of her world class care.

Dr. Packard is a very pleasant person but thinks along a straight line. Sometimes patients need someone who can think outside the box -- this was lacking here.

she seemed a little hesitant to believe that things were as bad as they were/hesitant to offer options beyond things that haven't worked for me in the past, which i understand, but I wish there had been more consideration and/or explanation.

I had a great visit. The doctor listened to my health history and concerns and looked up information from my chart as I was speaking to look at and she was able to give comments and advice from this. She listened to my questions and concerns and was able to come up with a plan for the future that allows me to have proactive care.
