    I would highly recommend Dr. Joy English. She was recommended to my by two other physicians and I can definitely see why - she has a great bedside manner, listens to your concerns and tailors your treatment and follow-up plan to you as an individual, not just following an algorithm. This precision, tailored style of practice is priceless for patients.
