Philosophy of Practice:
Today’s woman strives to be better educated on medical issues that pertain to their-selves and their families. Clients deserve an open, honest, empathetic and practical application of medical based information that can be integrated into their medical care. I believe my ability to listen and provide a clear concise explanation to our clients will keep our classes informative and light-hearted.
