Dr. Quach was very friendly, she asked me a lot of questions and said my condition could be caused by number of reasons.

Dr. Quach has done an excellent job dealing with a difficult problem with no real answers yet. There are no Long Covid treatments now, so doctors are limited in what they can do.
It was excellent!! Thank you.
She's a kind and empathic physician; her first response was one of sympathy and yet, it was abundantly clear that she is a medical expert—and that, too, was very reassuring. She achieved a perfect balance of compassionate physician—taking into consideration my suggestions and needs and then suggesting a flexible treatment plan that is also the recommended medical course (avoid oral antibiotics if possible).
