| 2018-07-01T00:00:00Z | 5 June 30, 2018 | Dr. Gove is an outstanding physician. I am grateful for the time, compassion and concern he demonstrated during the appointment and my exam. My husband is battling cancer and it is important that I keep myself well and able to care for him. I was worried and afraid but D.r Gove (and team) helped to reassure that my condition was not as serious as I thought. [...] I had talked with a nurse to move my appointment up as the symptoms had worsened since I made my original appointment. [...] was fantastic and I could tell she had communicated my problem to Dr. Gove and the team. The care I received was exceptional. Please make sure to give my thanks and praise to Dr. Gove and the team. |

| 2018-06-25T00:00:00Z | 2.08 June 24, 2018 | Until this visit, my healthcare provider has seemed to not only provide his own expertise on my condition but has also been receptive to my own thoughts and wishes, even though it's clear he doesn't always agree. At my last appointment, he got frustrated and was clearly agitated that I was choosing to not follow his immediate recommendations. He asked, "Why do you even seek care from this office" and "[If you aren't going to follow my recommendations], I don't know what to do from here." in a very frustrated way. He then left the examine room allowing the door to slam behind him. My two young children (2 & 5) were in the room as well. |
| 2018-06-22T00:00:00Z | 5 June 21, 2018 | Dr. Gove listened to my concerns & explained the treatment he was prescribing. |
