Mary Benoit Calnen (sp?) has helped me fight Caremark to get my meds even though it required far too much extra paperwork and time. We came up with backup plans together. I value her care deeply and trust her implicitly.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the Headache clinic, and my expectations were exceeded in terms of care and attentiveness. Which made me feel truly valued as a patient. Atmosphere is wonderful as the office has dim lighting. I highly recommend this group to anyone in need of specialized care.
