Dt Skaggs, was prepared for my visit. She provided information and charts about my lab results. She's always full of energy, and if you are not feeling well when you leave, you feel so much better because of her energy; the time she takes with each patient is so important, heartwarming, and shows she genuinely cares! I feel like she's a friend just having a general conversation although it's an office visit.

Dr Skaggs is one of a kind. Best doctors appointment I've ever had. She took me to cardiology and introduced me to the people I would be in contact with and explained every step of what we were doing. Dr Skaggs is an asset to OU in more ways than one!
