“She really knew her stuff but didn't come off like a know-it-all. I usually struggle with social anxiety but her laid back demeanor made me very comfortable and I remembered everything I meant to tell her, which never happens! I also felt comfortable telling her evetything....she's a special doctor and I highly recommend her!”

“After looking around at other online providers, I chose Joan Anukam at Vita Edge Care. My busy, ever changing schedule makes it difficult for me to go in office to my pcp. Subsequently, time continued to pass, and problems were left unaddressed. I scheduled this appointment as the first step in prioritizing my health. I feel my workup was thorough. She was personable and knowledgeable in helping me navigate my symptoms.
I am pleased about the care I received from Joan Anukam. ”
