    Dr. Goranson is the truly a great doctor. I see her once per year and she really takes the time to talk with me about all issues, not just GYN-related. I know I can count on her for to take good care of me, and she’s so friendly and really does take interest in my health. I am so glad she is my doctor!

    Dr. Gorenson was great. She didn't know anything about my history as this was just an annual check. But, she was very kind and listened. I have been a patient of Dr. Olmstead for 16/17 years and was not able to get in to her.

    I'm always anxious to meet with a new provider, but Dr. Goranson was great! I'm happy to meet with her until Dr. Olmstead returns!

    I love the care and expertise here and the time my dr. Spends listening to me. Helps so much and has excellent way of helping and never being judgmental but encouraging. This is so important and goes a long way to relieve worries and stress in these times. Thank you very much. My OBGYN is Lori Goranson and her assistant was very good as well.
