"I am excited to have someone who I feel is just as interested in getting some answers for me as I am."
It took a while to get an appointment with Sarah, so in the meantime I had found a local functional medicine doctor. I was excited when I finally got an appointment with Sarah and the difference between my consult with her and the other doctor I was seeing couldn't have been more contrasted. She spent time to explain and educate me, while also being genuinely interested in my personal story and what I'm experiencing. Unlike the other doctor I was seeing, I felt heard and seen with Sarah, and needless to say I am not going to be seeing the other doctor anymore. I am excited to have someone who I feel is just as interested in getting some answers for me as I am. Make the appointment with her!!!
