The doctor Melanie Gantner was very interested in my history not only did she take the time to ask questions and hear me out but she referred me to other doctors that could help me with some issues I was having. She was also requesting my records to understand more of where I was coming from. She was very understanding and considerate, I felt like I was actually being heard.
