I was there to have my broken toe examined. (My copy of the appointment had no notes on it.) Sandy also took the opportunity to look at my fractured ankle and give me a brace, ace bandage and PT instructions for my in-home therapist. She also noticed I was wearing a wrist brace, and that I had no record of a wrist injury. She took a look at that too! The pain and bruising was from the artery line that was run for my back surgery. Sandy gave me some helpful Instructions to treat my wrist as well. She was very attentive, kind, and totally took care of me!

She was a great listener! She respected that I brought my knowledge about human anatomy and rehabilitation methods to the discussion. We established a sense of mutual trust quickly. Her concerns about my injury, my pain and fears were genuine. She was also able to be light humored while maintaining her exemplary professionalism. I really liked her as a person!
