Michelle was great explaining my options to me and answered all my questions.
I had my first appointment with PA Michelle Fegeley. I was so impressed with her knowledge as a bone specialist. I have osteoporosis and want to try a more natural way to treat than traditional drugs, which can have some bad side effects. Ms. Fegeley was very thorough and answered all my questions. I feel hopeful for the first time since my diagnosis.
