Nurse Practitioner was great! She took time to really listen to me. She took an x-ray of both hands to compare and to show me what was happening with my thumbs. So helpful. She gave me choices for next steps...

Christie Bowen was kind, attentive, reviewed what measures were taken to heal my injury and what my options were moving ahead. Despite not having any clinical answers or potential corrective procedures, I felt listened to and comforted by words and presence.

I was primarily "told" what my treatment would entail without any opportunity for me to provide any relevant information concerning my care.

Both Christie and Laura demonstrated genuine concern in my ability to return to the activities I enjoy doing. They both listened and applied effective treatments. Christie Bowen was knowledgeable and provided a detailed analysis of the state of my injury. I am particularly grateful for her patience, encouragement, and kindness.

Christie conducted a tactile examination of my injury and proposed a treatment that has already been beneficial. She was very kind and truly cared about my situation. Her goals for me were clearly centered on me -- what I can't do and what I need to do. She was genuinely compassionate and knowledgeable in her field. I am so appreciative of her patience and expertise.
