I've been going to Dr. Kristen Gunning for probably 15 years and she is the best doctor I've ever been to. She, all of the attributes, you see I rated them all fours and tens. Just incredible. It's what you want a doctor to be. Someone has the knowledge and listens and just knows your condition when you come in, knows your background. Everything, it's just the best. And I'm just so happy I have her as a doctor and I'm just feel lucky about it.
