I have never met a doctor or person in the medical field that has impressed me as much as Dr. Courtney. At first I thought she was a bit brusk and dismissive, but as I continued appreciating her expertise in my examination, I discovered that her demeanor was better described as efficient, thorough and deliberately extensive. I became a huge fan because of her ability to immediately address every concern of mine, assess causes and related conditions that I was unaware of and to an extensive follow through on each and every detail. She has been so complete in her interviews and referrals that I have literally found her to be responsible for possibly saving my life by determining that I may have lung cancer, which I do, and that finding out this early has given me a greater chance for survival. When all the assessment was done during our last encounter she took the time to talk to me on a more personal level and came across as one the most caring and emotionally supportive individuals I have ever encountered. I read some of the other reviews and it quickly became obvious to me that any negative reviews were most likely from individuals attempting to cast her in an inappropriate negative light, rejected patients that I can only conclude were weeded out due to their drug seeking, not for legitimate medical reasons. She is brilliant, she is kind and she is not going to waste valuable time on false premises presented by disingenuous claims. She is too smart for that. I can’t praise her enough, thank you Susan from the bottom of my heart.
