Patient Reviews
Sep 27, 2024
I've been going to Dr. April for many years. She is always polite and professional. I have had a lot of doctors in my life because I lost both my kidneys & was on dialysis for nearly 13 years. I have a rare kidney disease & she knew exactly what it was. I finally got a kidney transplant in 2018. Dr. April always makes sure that whatever I take won't hurt my kidney or have any interactions with all the meds I'm already on. I HIGHLY recommend her.
