Excellent call. I think I've finally found the right person who will be able to help me with my excessive amount of sleep and constant fatigue I've had since August 2023. She listened and understood my issue and asked questions that focused on her getting more information. Totally grateful I have connected with her. Super excellent..

I absolutely loved Dr. Nocera. She was amazing! She showed me so much more care and empathy than pretty much any other doctor I've had. She really made me feel like she was there to treat me as a whole person and take my feelings into account. She took the time to explain everything and worked with me to find solutions that would work for me, not just what works for everyone else. If I could have her as my doctor for everything I would.
