My son had a rash. I thought it was ring worm. I took him in after the rash changed some and did not improve. The provider explained it was not ringworm & more. She was an excellent listener. She explained very clearly what to expect & how to proceed. She was very kind and had excellent bedside manner. She also had a student with her. What a great example/preceptor to work with and learn from.
