She is a delight to work with because of her personality. She keeps good yet short notes so is able to pick right up from the history that matters to her patient's story. She is willing to answer duplicate questions and ask even after that if there are any more before she leaves. As she exits, she reminds me that she and her staff are always available if something more comes up.
