She was professional and communicated clearly throughout the appointment. However, I personally did not feel warmth or a strong therapeutic connection during the interaction. That does not mean she is not a good Nurse Practitioner — only that she may not have been the right fit for me personally..

Dr. Angel is amazing. She is motherly and open- minded, but also straight forward and empowering. I learn things about myself and feel good leaving my meeting every visit. I would refer anyone I know looking for a doctor that cares truly about YOU. She obviously takes well written notes, and has a great memory because she always remembers the little and big things from our last meeting no matter how long its been, and truly cares about her patient and medications that are provided. 5 stars!

She is awesome and listens to me even though she just prescribes my medicine. She makes me feel way better than I’ve felt in a while
