Dec 21, 2022
She treated my lymphedema infections with her expertise and I no longer have to go to the hospital..... She prescribed a treatment plan and it has worked so far for several years........ before this I would have to rush to the hospital for IV'S before SEPSIS could set in..... I had SEPSIS 7 times before she helped me.........Wonderful caring doctor.
