Dr. Dwyer impressed greatly. I have seen numerous new doctors in my lifetime, but very rarely have the doctors taken the time to actually read my lengthy medical history. Dr. Dwyer had read my history, so it made our discussion so much easier. She was able to offer some suggestions on how to proceed with my care instead of a wait and watch scenario I normally get.

Dr. Dwyer is always attentive and listens to my concerns. She is easy to relate to and talk over concerns with. I did express my concern about the wait times and that this office was not its' usual warm and caring environment. I am hopeful that things will get back to how they used to be.

Love Dr Dwyer. She treats me like an adult, involves me in all decision making instead of telling me what to do. We are always on same page

Dr. Dwyer was very good with explaining my upcoming surgery and suggested I contact the surgeon for effective pain medication leading up to the surgical date. She was very kind and helpful, I guess she knew I was a bit nervous about the upcoming surgery.

Dr. Dwyer is always kind and thorough. I never feel rushed when asking questions. She takes her time during our visits so I feel like I can bring up things that I normally wouldn't. I never feel like she is hurrying through my exam to get to her next patient.
