I have been a patient of Dr Etheridge for over 20 yrs. Dr Etheridge is extremely knowledgeable about all fields of medicine. She is a great listener and will always guide you in the right direction. My entire family goes to her office. I’ve been going to Carmine for a few years and she is also amazing! Very helpful, patient, personable, and kind.
I have been seeing Dr. Etheridge for over 17 years, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also a truly amazing doctor who always takes the time to listen and provide the best care. Her dedication to her patients is unmatched, and I am so grateful to have her as my doctor.
