Report
I've been a patient of Dr. T for 5 years. I can't say enough good things about her care for her patients. She made the switch to Direct Care just over a year ago, eliminating the costs/paperwork of insurance companies. Instead, I pay a small annual amount for her expertise. This has freed her up to care for her patients' needs rather than what insurance companies believe they are. When she refers me out to other professionals for services, I use my insurance for those appointments and doctors.
Dr. T is thorough in each of her visits and often asks me questions I never would have considered. She
