Suzanne is marvelous. She keeps a close watch on everything so that I remain healthy. She listens and always insists that if anything changes I should call her immediately.

11/24/2025

My medical records from a few of my doctors,were not sent to her office. I was so embarrassed This appointment had been made 6 months ago. Suzanne reassured me that it happens and she continued on with her new patient intake. IHer nurse Stacey was absolutely accommodating to not getting the films etc. that were requested. I've taken care of that issue and will be picking them up and driving to Michigan City in the morning. Both were just so understanding and made me feel very welcomed. Valerie at the Rheumatology front desk was such a treat to meet.
