What Patients Are Saying

"Dr. Covington saved my life! I cannot say enough about how amazing she is! Not only does she know her medical/surgical stuff she has a wonderful bedside manner. A lot of physicians lack in that department. I wished I would have had my first surgery with her then maybe I would not have had a second that she had to correct! Thank you for taking care of me!"
