Visiting a physician for a fecal leakage problem takes courage! Dr. Hawkins listens is empathic and has discussions and solutions to offer hope to someone. She listens and makes the patient feel comfortable under the circumstances. Everything is explained in detail and though she has seen many clients over the years, she makes you feel valued with your problem.
