    Dr. Turner did outstanding work! She was clear and detailed before the procedure, she spent extra time on the surgery to meet my personal/physical concerns for recovery, she came to see my family and me several times in the hospital after the surgery, and called me on the morning of my follow up appointment to change the time so that she wouldn't have to miss my 2-week check-up (despite the fact that they loaded her schedule with tons of other patients that day!). She's the best!

    Dr Turner is clearly concerned with her patients' health and she treats them with respect. She was my transplant surgeon and (though I am clearly not an expert) she seems to have done a great job. She has answered all of my many questions clearly and informatively.

    She was very professional and at the same time friendly and concerned about my illness. She was not in a hurry to answer my questions, she spent time explaining in detail, that I could understand, my condition. She gave a step by step process of how she would handle my illness from one being minor to a major problem involving numerous tests and exams. I was very pleased with her plans of action and thoroughness.
