Dr. Keels and the entire staff were amazing as usual. I'm always treated with care and they definitely went over and beyond to make sure all of me and my husband's questions were answered after dealing with a miscarriage. My nurse team is amazing !

Everything was great. Dr. Keels and team was wonderful!!! My only suggestion-Heated Supplies for Comfort • Warm Speculums: Use heated or room-temperature speculums to reduce discomfort.. • Heated Lubricants: If lubricant is used, warming it slightly (while ensuring compatibility with cytology) can ease insertion. • Warm Exam Rooms: Maintain a comfortable ambient temperature to reduce anxiety and physical discomfort. • Single-Use Heated Speculums: Consider devices with built-in warming elements for consistent comfort.

I would have liked to be able to schedule back with this provider. I really enjoyed the visit. But I was advised that I could not because I had seen a different provider in the past.
