Dr. true love is very precise in her explanations of Surgery details and recovery details as they are occurring. I had complete confidence in how she managed the appointment time that we had and what we got accomplished and I understood everything that I was asked to continue to do to recover maximum well. I feel she is very relatable and is an excellent communicator. I am 100% satisfied with my results from surgery and with my progression of recovery with her guidance and that of her OT team.
De Truelove was amazing! She answered ALL my questions, and was friendly and warm.
Wonderful doctor!
