I felt that the practitioner spent a lot of time with me and addressed my concerns emphatically and thoroughly.
It's really convenient and the doc I chose is great!
She actually listened to me and didn't dismiss my concerns. She offered a solution that goes with perimenopause and seemed to be knowledgeable in the area.
My clinician was very helpful and understanding.
My provider is incredibly patient, attentive & kind. She explains everything perfectly to me in a way that I am able to understand.
For what I was experiencing it was crucial to have a same-day virtual appointment, which I was able to get. And the nurse was friendly, helpful and efficient so I was able to get the care I needed and my prescription picked up in the same day.
Yes, I needed my refill prescription very soon, and as my doctor was no longer available, I utilized the virtual appointment which was great! The appt went smoothly, the provider was knowledgeable, kind & ver helpful! I also have a follow up appt, and plan to use the same services in the future. Yes, can give a Google review, thank you.
NP Kristen Nelson was very thorough I never felt rushed and was very attentive to my needs and zero judgment. By far one of the best appointments I've had in my adulthood dealing with PCOS
My doctor Kristen was wonderful. Actually listened to my ailments and wants to help! A very different experience than I've had lately with doctors.
I love my doctor and she's helped me so much
