Dr. Queenan is fantastic! From the first second I met him, I felt comfortable and confident in his abilities. I cannot thank him enough for the care, kindness and a little bit of humor he puts into caring for his patients. Fertility is a heavy subject and can be awkward to discuss, Dr. Queenan makes it easy! Thank you for your continued superb care!
