“I didn't have an in-person appointment but felt deeply welcomed anyhow. This was my first meeting with Dr. Oppong and I was struggling to navigate the online forms in time for my appointment yet I was met with understanding and assistance every step of the way. Dr. Oppong even went as far as accommodating my delays in her schedule. Even prior to my appt I was reached out to with kind reminders and insight for pre-appointment procedure. Thank you Dr. Oppong I had a great experience.”
