NP Dykes always provides me with excellent service. One thing I appreciate is being able to discuss with her any concerns that I may have openly and w/o judgement. B/c of my own work in public health we are also able to discuss some of the most current literature and studies that are informing practice, and what data trends may be in different communities.
