    Dr Mayer is a very compassionate physician who cares for her patients. She spends a lot if time in reviewing lab/imaging studies and helping the patient know what to do in planning the next step in their health care. In my case, she had to review studies from a third party and effectively interpret results that were not adequately provided by the outside provider. She listens carefully to her patients to better understand the complete picture in order to diagnose the problem correctly. She is very thorough in her recommended course of action.
