Two other health professionals up at the U told me a meditation that had been controlling my Seizures that the insurance stopped paying for. I wouldn't be able to get. I spoke to the insurance and found that they would pay for it, upon a call to them from care professional. I was told I don't know what I was talking about. One visit with this Dr. And two days later she had it taken care of in two days.

We appreciate the option for virtual visits. Our family is high risk with the COVID and have stayed home and in our county for safety. We live 300 miles away from the clinic and are nervous for the drive and staying in a hotel. This has been very helpful and the communication through MyChart and phones worked well.

I am grateful that Dr. Peters is my new doctor. She explain to me different kinds of treatments for my epilepsy. Also expressed concern about the cavernous malformations that might be contributing to the new seizures I have been having. It's been a while since I have felt I could trust a doctor with my epilepsy.
