very caring and knowledgeable
-
She is kind, listens, and is helpful. Since I have a lot of health issues that interact with each other she really understands the fact that it is best to get to the root cause and to not overmedicate me. I am still exploring ways to get better (ie: getting my thyroid healthy again, and she is willing to defer parts of my care to specialists but helps me navigate me as a whole, and has been helpful when I have an emergency she tries to help me forward, especially when I'm scared. And I've had a few scary hospital stays. I so wish I could see her when I need her though. I do not like bothering her on the Portal. But with that said, I'm grateful to have this option to contact her. My entire family sees her, and we love her!!! 100 percent
