The receptionist greeted me with a smile and offered me a seat in the waiting room. Only waiting less than five minutes the assigned nurse was very professional as she took my weight and my blood pressure.. Dr Clay is an outstanding person. She asked me about my overall health and if I had any concerns. As she examined both of my breasts, she explained what and why this procedure is necessary due to the fact that I am a survivor of breast cancer twice. Dr Clay encouraged me to maintain my daily exercise and nutritious routines, and the importance of my medications coupled with the need to continue to update flu, Covid, and shingles vaccinations. Dr. Clay is truly "One of a kind" doctor!

Dr. Clay was wonderful. She made sure my father, a 91 year old who has hearing loss, understood her questions and took the time to listen to him. She engaged him and didn't talk past him to get answers from me. She had a great bedside manner and listened to our questions carefully and answered them to the best of her ability. She was honest and thoughtful in her answers. She explained what the treatment plan was and her staff was able to secure a bed for his RBC transfusion at a facility close to home and for the next day. I cannot thank her enough and am confident in her plans for my dad.

They were very proficient with the way that they handled me and helped me to understand. Although we did not discuss the treatment, I am so sure Dr. Clay wondered why I did not ask what the treatment would be when she asked if I had any questions. I will not have any questions unless they prove that I have a disease or need a treatment. Other than that, I am really fine. I believe that the doctor did a wonderful job, both the doctor as well as fellows. It was a blessing for me. I am very grateful to have met the hematology group. Thank you.
