Would recommend her for conditions other than the one I came with (facial surgery/eyes).
SHC Patient, Oct 2014
Some details of surgery given by provider the day before came as complete surprise. Very little information to surgery after care was given prior to surgery. Felt ill prepared for supplies to have on had, or surgery, after effects. Had to ask for prescriptions for arm garments. Felt very unprepared & not supported afterwards.
