    The doctor was very pleasant. I was comfortable with her. I asked her a question and she explained it to me. I asked what different medications she would prescribe me would interrupt my other medication. She said no. And this is my second time being in her company and I like her. I'm relaxed. She has been eye contact. I feel comfortable with her. And I'm there. She's there if I need her. And I appreciate that. So thank you for being there, Dr. Guggina. Have a blessed rest of the year, [redacted]

    Dr. Guggina listened to all of my concerns. I called to her attention two specific things of importance to me, one of which being a growth, which I expect she would have found in her examination anyway, but she explained to me exactly what it was, growth on my forehead, and an additional one relating to a area around my eye that was causing concern for which she prescribed medication and which she examined and explained fully to me. Her diagnosis and the medicine she described has worked wonderfully and I am appreciative of it. As always, she explains things fully, listens to my concerns, and conducts the examination and the appointment with thoroughness and grace. And for that, I'm much appreciated. Thank you.
