Absolutely excellent and amazing. To be honest I was considering leaving the practice, but based on this visit with Lola, I have decided to stay. She is an incredible listener and is onboard with true healing and care giving. She is a refreshing gem in the nightmare western medicine has become.

I realize health care professionals are extremely busy. It might be nice for the health care professional to explore any other issues at the start of the exam so it is not forgotten by the end of the exam.
Jun 23, 2024
Lola is a very energetic and engaged NP. Lola is very interested in getting in understanding the history of the ailment or injury. Lola's enthusiasm is very apparent and she is interested in getting results. It is a joy to have an energized health provider. In this light, I find I need to slow Lola down to understand the cure, and to explore other issues regarding my health. It's all good!
