He went over my CT scan with me. Explained all the questions I had about it very well. He is kind and has time for you and no rushing. I really like that in my Doctor. Try him, you will like him too.

Review for Dr. Slack
Dr Woolard is such an amazing provider. She listens and she is so thorough during appointments. She does not hesitate to answer any questions or concerns. She did my first cesarean section with my son and she made sure to watch my twins closely throughout my entire pregnancy! I will forever...

Review for Dr. Woolard
Visit was well coordinated. Started with Imaging, followed by Labs and then saw Dr Li. Dr Li already had the Imaging and Lab results when he examined me. It all went smoothly.
