Originally, I had scheduled an in person follow-up visit with the doctor, but because of weather issues (and caring for grandchildren) I requested a virtual appointment. I had already completed blood work and an ultrasound previous to our appointment. I was pleased with our virtual visit.

I cannot say enough good about this doctor. She listens very well and goes above and beyond to try to help connect all of my physical issues into a working plan.
