Dr. Margolin provides me with the best medical care I can imagine. She went out of her way to personally coordinate my care when we initiated my cancer therapy. She continues to earn my trust and respect every visit. I continue to make the long drives to St Johns because of people like Dr. Margolin and her nurse staff. Thank you for everything!
