Dr. Rincon was running very late due to an emergency surgery she had been in since 4 a.m. I am from SC so there couldn't be a rescheduled time. Dr. Rincon made sure her assistant stayed in contact with me which was appreciated so much! Dr. Rincon saw me an hour and 20 minutes late but she spent a good hour with me and my husband and never once made us feel rushed or unimportant. She still had 2 other patents to see after we left at 5:20. She will be my neurosurgeon moving ahead even though I live in SC.
