She was very thorough. Listened and actually heard everything I said. Explained everything in a way I could understand. I finally have some hope that I can get some improvement after more than 6 years of things getting worse and worse.

She was very professional, but also personable. Asked many questions and responded well to all my questions. I left with a plan for new medications, new dietary plan, referrals for testing and a very good feeling that I had been heard and treated well..

My provider was late and used outdated/incorrect medical records as opposed to the ones I took much time to confirm before my appointment.

She really took the time to ask questions and listen to my answers. She also picked up on things going on with me that other providers hadn't. I've been having ongoing issues that she recognized as part of a pattern. I'm so thankful I was able to have an appointment with her.
