Dr. Pfundstein always has time to go over the results from the different tests. She also takes time to listen to you and your problem. She's very thorough. I've been her patient for many years. I think she is great

Review for Dr. Pfundstein
I recently went to FFX ER following a motor vehicle accident. My experience was good thanks to Dr. Cogbill and the excellent ER nurse. Dr. Cogbill was kind, professional and expedited tasks as much as possible. He checked in on me multiple times and I felt well taken care of. Thank you emensley.
