I don't know that Yelp provides enough room for me to say everything that I would like to about Sonnee. She is one of those rare individuals who seems to have a true genuineness and concern that almost seem palpable, and I feel as if this was evident from the moment I first met her. Not only does she have an obvious expertise, she is also someone who is kind, caring, compassionate, and makes it apparent that she a true passion and dedication to her field.
Individuals of her caliber and character seem as if they are becoming the exception in life, but it is also for this very reason that

I have known Dr. Weedn since 1975. Over those years, I've recommended dozen of people to her for advice and direction. I've never heard a single person object to the clarity she has given.
