Jody is exceptional. She answered all my questions. She explained everything she was doing. Geisinger is lucky to have this provider on staff.

Good

Jodi was the type of doctor everyone should see, especially with pregnancy. As a second time mother, I didn't have many questions that needed answers, but when I did she was very informative. She never pushed me to do things I didn't want to do. She also listened to anything I said or was feeling and seemed like she really cared. I believe very strongly that a mother's intuition begins during pregnancy and is very reliable. Whether she also believed that, she supported me either way.

My experience was outstanding. Moving the entire family over from [...]. Night and day difference in everything.

Jody did a biopsy on the office. 1. I wish you were allowed to have better numbing options in the office. 2. I wish she would have told me what she thought the problem was instead of having to wait for the biopsy results.

Excellent knowledge of their field. Great bedside manner.

Everything has been great, other than my husband being ignored or treated as if he doesn't know anything when he speaks at appointments.
