The best always!

If I could put more stars in, I would. She was great! She didn't fat shame me like other docs have, she validated everything I was telling her about my back. The others were telling me I was wrong with what they are telling me. I love her!

Shanae Vizza was amazing. She treated me with kindness and interest. Her communication was perfect. She listened to every question and explained her answers so that I truly understood. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family. At the end of my appointment I had a plan that I felt comfortable with because she listened to me.

She made me feel that I still had. Hope explained everything well.

She is amazing. She always listens to me and my worries. If she left her practice at Swift institute I would be ultimately very sad.

I was impressed at how prepared Shay was for our appointment, and how knowledgeable she was regarding my case.
I did want to clarify I had not been a patient of Carla’s continuously over the last several years. I left Carla when she went to another medical group at which time I became a patient of Melissa at Pinnacle medical group, and returned to Carla in early 2025, shortly after her return to Swift.
