Annual Well Woman Exam

The wait was not long. Laura Kennedy was so kind, comfortable, funny, real. The exam was thorough, quick, she made nice conversation, we laughed, and she showed me out after the exam. I am always impressed with Adriatica Women’s Health. From the moment you walk in, the setting is warm and inviting with beautiful chandeliers and lots of comfortable seating that helps you feel at ease. It doesn't feel like a doctor's office. The wait was not long, even after being taken to the exam room. Laura Kennedy was kind and had a nice sense of humor that put me at ease. She asked thoughtful questions in a friendly way, and made the experience feel relaxed. She even offered to show me how to navigate my way out after the appointment, which was very kind. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly from start to finish. I’ve been coming to Adriatica for years, and their care has always been consistent, dependable, and top notch. I don't plan to go anywhere else.
