    I had to make a change in order to find the correct specialists. I would have stayed just to have Christina be my primary if it were not for that

    We love her and she shows that she really cares and loves her work. We also love Amanda and the blood draw girl. I told my daughter how the facility/company is managed and she wished she could become an OPTUM member.
