“I came into the office because I was bleeding at 10 weeks pregnant. I was diagnosed with a missed miscarriage. I am so impressed how the nurse I spoke to on the phone handled my initial call. The Dr. Jami Avellini, MD Got me in to her busy schedule, and really presented everything in the best possible way to hear such horrible news. She really took the time to explain things and give me my options and what to expect next. I really feel that this Dr. Cares and is exceptional at her job. Everyone I was in contact with showed empathy and support. The office followed up with me to check on how my weekend went and if there was any changes in my condition, then had additional care scheduled based on that. With this entire awful experience, the staff made it as good as it possibly could be. My heartfelt thank you to everyone.”
