Dr. Evans is truly exceptional for her knowledge of her profession and the patience in taking time to explain everything that needs to be done for her patients. We left the office feeling that our daughters are in good hands. Her very next assistant, the nurse that did all the preliminary job of weighing, measuring, and giving the girls their shots was also very professional and friendly. I feel terrible to have allowed the name of the wonderful nurse to escape me.
