Review for Dr. Ibrahim

After seeing 4 doctors, she was the only one who took the appropriate steps to get my cancer diagnosed so that was good. She rudely told me I had cancer.She lied to me after my D&C and said the mass was gone. It was NOT.

Review for Dr. Reeves

Dr. Cieply looked me straight in the eye, thoroughly explained my situation and took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. This was our first meeting and the experience gave me the confidence to continue down the path to surgery! Very relieved that everything went so well.
