11/21/2023

Bad overall. Literally cried while leaving the office.

11/21/2023

Jackie and Molly are amazing!

11/20/2023

I continue to receive care that surpasses my expectations both in terms of quality and "bedside manner". They clearly have a patient first mentality that is evident in everything they do.

11/16/2023

Molly spent an appropriate amount of time with me for my visit and questions. I usually have pretty easy appointments and have had no complications.

11/14/2023

All of the supporting staff were very responsive, knowledgeable and generous with their time.

07/01/2023

She is always supportive.

06/27/2023

I have already recommended her to other people.

06/21/2023

Thank you ST Al's.

06/10/2023

The MA was excellent. The provider's follow up note in my chart did not reflect the visit and had to be corrected. I did not have bariatric surgury to lose weight. There is no need to have to fill out paper form of medical history when it is in St. Als. My Chart. The appointment was set one yeR ago which is adequate time for this provider to hVe pulled up this information. This made me angry. I didnot feel it necessary as welk to be asked to fill out another prior to the visit as well. This made me angry and raised my white coat syndrome.

05/19/2023

The question: How easy or difficult was it to obtain the care you needed? I selected somewhat difficult. Nothing wrong with the scheduling and getting scheduled. Dr. Etherington is booked out (for the specific appointment I saw her for) a year or more. Get on the cancelation list! My original appointment was scheduled for January 2024. By being on the cancelation list I kept getting bumped up and bumped up and was able to get in May 2023!

04/10/2023

I feel my concerns are heard and addressed.

04/02/2023

She should not be around vulnerable cancer patients

02/24/2023

I would return in a heartbeat.

02/19/2023

I would definitely use Dr Etherington again.

02/19/2023

Highly recommend and well worth the wait to get in to see her. Trust her completely with the health and well-being of my child.

02/16/2023

Scheduling an appointment required many more calls than it should have as my appointment was scheduled, cancelled and rescheduled more than once.

My breast reduction went well and has been life changing for me. I can’t thank the staff enough for helping me out from the very beginning of me going in. I was so nervous and scared I would be told no to a breast reduction. I am so happy and appreciative

Dr Etherington is warm and engaging, and reassuringly knowledgeable about breast reconstruction. She came prepared, and promptly came up with a plan, which she described thoroughly. As a 10-year breast cancer survivor, I've had quite a few doctors, and Dr. Etherington is definitely one of the best.

03/23/2022

This was a follow appointment for reconstructive surgery due to breast cancer. They treated my husband and I as if we were both the patient. This was a difficult time for us, all of the staff helped us with showing kindness and understanding for what we were going through. I hope we never need the services of this clinic again but if this issue ever came back, there is no doubt in our minds this is were we would come. The best care I have ever received.
