Dr. Curseem is very thorough and answered all our questions.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 3/14/2026
Dr. Curseen is always good re pre-appt reading of my records to see what new info has been going on with my health as well as recalling things we speak about & expanding on those issues. It's very helpful to me as her patient re my health & you'd be surprised at the docs who don't do that. Those few minutes of review saves everyone so much time & possible misunderstandings (grief). She also gives me new Info on common sense things others may see as trivial but that she knows, as my other providers may know, that I love to learn new things daily (my mantra too).
