Claire was respectful, professional while providing excellent communication and care. Claire subbed in for my appointment. She was totally prepared and familiar with my chart by the time I arrived.
Love the way you treat everyone!
I hav only good to say about the whole team... They all seem to care about me and are not in a hurry to get me out the door and always hav been sooo nice and helpful even when I hav a ton of questions and make multiple calls with other questions, MY weight loss journey was successful cause this team took the time to explain everything and to also kinda walk me threw it in ways that helped me when I was scared or nervous and also not pass judgement and they were always very positive and encouraging... I think the program I was in with having a nutritionist and the healthy eating classes on top of the therapy is the support and the tools I needed to make my story a success. AND I couldn't b more thankful for the life changing chance I was givin and appreciate every single Dr, Nurse, Therapist and Assistant there !! They are all amazing and I feel like I got the best care and I am so thankful to you all !!!
