I like Ellen's friendly manner.
Dr. Mccullough, she listened to what I had to say, and had great medical responses. I've been to other Doctors and they seem to be in a hurry, Dr. Mccullough listened, didn't rush and had clear easy to understand responses.
She was kind and listened very well until what my issues were. And very thorough
great dr.
