Dr. Sara is awesome and has helped me find a good balance of the medication that has been key for me maintaining a better focus on the goals for making a better life for my daughter and I. I've noticed a substantial positive difference in the way I am able to do the things that were much more challenging before we were able to find the best balance of meds for my needs.
