I would highly recommend this doctor and her practice!
I had a pleasure to access this clinic and speak with Dr Natalie Summerhill. She is extremely professional and approachable at this same time. I feel well after the coil insertion last Friday. I was able to WALK on the following day, only with minimal discomfort. Thank you for helping me to overcome my horrible experience which I had 5 years ago: I was in pain during the insertion (shaking and not being sure why my muscles were contracting) and weeks after, bleeding for 6 weeks. Now, I know that this was not a normal reaction, just poorly perform task.
I would highly recommend this doctor and her practice!
