      This was my first visit at the office to discuss a topic that is difficult for a young male to talk about. Lauren Hicks was very professional, knowledgeable, and understanding. I left the clinic with confidence and hope that her and the care team were on the right track to help me feel better.

      Lauren is a wonderful health care provider! She has an excellent bedside manner. Lauren is kind and caring. She is truly interested in her patients. Her explanations are clear and easy to understand. Lauren was very good at answering any question I asked. She would be an excellent mentor for residents in UK's nurse practitioner program. I would recommend her to anyone as an excellent practitioner. I am pleased that UK has such high quality health care professionals. Please feel free to contact me if you wish for any further information.
