I have a bit of a difficult case and Jonathan was so patient and understanding of the unique issues I am facing. He made me feel very understood and listened to and had Hilary talk with me at the end of our session to help me further with my limited abilities. I felt very cared for by both!

All providers I talked to yesterday were amazing. You can tell they genuinely care about me as a patient and also a person. Jonathan is always great to talk to. For the first time I had Kody as my dietitian and he always amazing. He walked in and asked me how I was doing, I immediately started crying and trying to explain things. He was very patient with me and my emotions. He also gave me great information and I felt great while talking to him and after.
