Verified Patient Reviews

I very much appreciated the expertise and insights this provider brought to my problem and the suggestions offered concerning how it may have arisen and how to address It. Just explaining things, something some providers seem too busy to do, sometmes helps patients ever so much. And it helps also to learn of possible new approaches to It. Gives one a new outlook.
