Explain the procedure what was going on and I will go back at 2:30 to see her again
She was great..told me everything she was doing and tried to calm me down. And tried to do as quickly as my body would allow.
She is very helpful in getting answers to questions. She has a wonderful client to practitioner manner.
I am very pleased with Carrie DuFuss. She was patient and considerate. She took the time to see that I was comfortable and listened to my woes without complaint.
She was honest and explained some things I should maybe have understood better before. Helped me on the spot.
So personal with your needs
Carrie was great...put me at ease and explained things better than anyone has.
Always attentive and looking for new ways to deal with recurring issues.
Carrie does a great job of making you feel comfortable and is super transparent throughout the process
