She's wonderful! Caring.....and really LISTENS! I know, because during our conversations, she zeroes in on what I'm saying/asking, and reiterates it back to make sure she's getting me (which she almost always is!) and them responds with thoughtful, thorough answers ~ even to tough questions and even if it's "hard" news. There's always good eye contact and she respects my thoughts/opinions and those of my spouse/my daughter (caretaker) ~ always willing to address our many questions or when things need more clarity. Brilliant! Professional! High emotional intelligence!

Mae FNP & Dr. Maeda were both excellent, they both took a lot of time & answered all my questions. I am a FNP myself & I felt the care was excellent.
