“This was my second time using this app. The Dr was on time, very attentive and had an answer for all my questions. He was excited about his job and attentive. Once my transportation issues are covered,(my apologies)I can't wait to get started with this treatment. The Lord was 100% leading me here. I was in another country getting this treatment due to how Hard it is to find and with coverage.. Thank you Dr and staff for your kindness and time. God Bless”
