Dr. Southworth continues to excel in all facets of delivering care. Most notably, she is keenly aware of my idiosyncrasies as a human being and how they affect the dynamic that exists between us. Simply put, she not only LISTENS to me, she HEARS me as well, always taking into account my lifestyle, age, and other personal factors that unavoidably interact with the advice she provides. As a result of that, there is no healthcare problem I encounter that I will ever not commit to her sage counsel and professional judgment.
