    Dr. Odrobina has been incredible! Getting an autoimmune diagnosis can be scary with all of the unknowns, but she is very knowledgeable and experienced, and constantly stays on it with all of the coordinated care that is needed. She is also very balanced and wants to make sure that I am not letting the diagnosis stop me from living my life. I appreciate her very much!
