“My visit with Dr. Vivian was truly amazing. She was kind and I felt she listened to me. She explained my diagnosis to me and gave me detailed about opioid use disorder treatment. She explained how I would feel when I start taking Suboxone and everything she said happened. I was prepared for the experience. Today I am sober now for 3 years. I truly appreciate her not giving up on me. Yes I did relapse a few times but she told me to get back up and start all-over again. This provider right here saved my life”

I started seeing Mrs. Vivian Sona after struggling with kratom use for years. I wasn’t sure where to turn, but from the first appointment, she made me feel heard, understood, and supported. Through Suboxone treatment and her steady guidance, I was able to stop using kratom. This was something I had tried and failed to do on my own many times.
Mrs. Sona has also been a constant source of support through some of the most difficult times in my life. Because of her care, I’ve seen real, lasting improvement in nearly every part of my life (my mental health, career, relationships, and overall well-being).
I want others to know how much she’s helped me. She’s a compassionate, knowledgeable provider who truly cares, and I’m incredibly grateful for everything she’s done.
