The recent visit was just a three month follow up with Dr. Dwyer went over all my medication's and every recent issue and asked if there weren't any new problems. She covered far more than I expected and took a great deal of time with me which I truly appreciate I really have always liked Dr. Dwyer.

Dr Dwyer spent a great deal of time with me, well beyond the usual 20 minutes or so. She listened, she provided answers to my questions and concerns, offered her medical advice, and gave me the encouragement I needed. I believe she went well beyond the usual length of time spent with her patients,
