Patient Reviews
Feb 12, 2024
Dr. E spent an hour with me when I was first diagnosed with Osteoporosis. Reviewing my tests results and explaining treatment options. She explained the risks & benefits for 2 options and let me think about it before I had to choose. Then it was full steam ahead for the next year. I really appreciate the time she spent explaining the diagnosis and letting me choose.
