5 /5 Mabel Flores: I had the pleasure of visiting with Dr. Evana Valenzuela Scheker and her staff at the division of Endocrine Surgery. From scheduling the appt to the office visit, it was by far the best experience I have had. I came to her for a second opinion on what could possibly be a scary situation for me as I am recovering cancer patient. Knowing my history she took the time to explain things in great detail so that I can have the peace of mind I so desperately needed. I had arrived late for my appointment and she and her staff waited! Imagine how often that happens! Astonishing! Normally it’s the other way around. Despite the fact the I was late her staff welcomed me with a wonderful smile and took me in right away. Everyone from the front staff to her medical assistant to her PA, just a lovely group of empathetic women. Going to the doctor with concerns can be scary especially if you have a history, cancer stays with you. The trauma of it all never goes away. So the one thing you want from a visit with a doctor is someone who cares and understands! I highly recommend Dr. Valenzuela Scheker, she is truly a wonderful doctor and you can genuinely tell that she really cares about her patients.
