“I reached out to her because I've been experiencing some life hardships and knew I needed support. I spoke to her, she listened to everything, I didn't feel rushed and her bedside manner was excellent. She explained very thoroughly all medication possible side effects, best way to take them and answered all questions, what I love is the check-ins to make sure everything is going great!”
