“She listened very carefully to all of my concerns. I am a rather "complex" patient and often tend to overwhelm care providers. That is not the case with Dr. McCoy. She made me feel heard and understood. Most importantly, she made me feel like I was a key part of my care plan, which is not a common experience for me. I'm so grateful that I was able to find her.”
