“It was my first gynecology appointment in a LONG time so I was a bit nervous, to say the least. Dr. Latta and staff did what they could to ease my nerves and explain everything to me so I knew exactly what was going on during the exam. I didn’t feel rushed and Dr. Latta made sure to answer any and all questions that I had during my visit. I couldn’t have asked for a better first visit at the office!” – Kasey
