Review for Chelsie Mattox, WHNP

Annual Well Woman Exam

I was called back for my mammogram at my appointment time. Dawn was very welcoming and nice which was extremely comforting for a procedure that is not the most pleasant. She was great during the exam always asking if I was ok. Then I was called back for my appointment with Dr Conway. Her assistant was again very warm and welcoming which was great. This was my first visit with dr Conway who was also very warm and welcoming. She sat down and talked with me about so issues that I was having. She was knowledgeable about what I was needing and I could tell she had read the notes in my chart which was nice that she had taken the time before she came in. She took her time with me and made sure she answered any questions that I had and told me some things that I would need to watch and to call her if anything came up. One of the best experiences that I have had from a woman’s view
