I was made to feel completely at ease
Thankful I found her I feel Dr. Jackson genuinely cares about me and my health, and is very knowledgeable and supportive in my healthcare concerns and decisions
Dr. Jackson was very thorough and explained things in terms I could understand. She also showed me the results of my bone density scan, which was very interesting. A lot of doctors don't go over x-rays or scans and explain them in detail; they just give you a summary of the findings. To actually view the scan or x-ray and have someone explain the findings helps my understanding of what's going on.
Very patient, answered all our questions.
My Dr. Is a great Dr. Love her helpful and concerned for my over all health

She was very helpful
I have only superlatives for Dr. Jackson's knowledge and expertise--and delivery. I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition of which I had no knowledge one year ago after following an extremely healthy lifestyle. She gives me clarifying feedback and answers on information from my medical school web research and takes my detailed and overarching concerns seriously. She has taught me about this diagnosis and Its process Including medications, treatment options, long term effects. I can't speak highly enough of her to others and have recommended her to others.

Very good visit. Nice conversation with Dr Jackson.
I appreciated that Dr. Jackson showed me on the computer what the results of the DEXA scan were and explained how that was different than a normal scan. It was the first time someone actually showed me the results of the scan.
This care provider is outstanding! Really knows her stuff I can tell. I learned things I have not heard before about the thyroid issues Graves' disease or thyroiditis related information. She changed my medication a little bit explain to me why I have no questions it makes perfect sense with how I've been feeling.
