This was my first face-to-face visit with a physician since I started having problems. Prior to this I had various tests done as suggested by other providers. I feel that Dr Poretta was great at listening to my symptoms and concerns, plus she did a physical assessment which I had not been given previously. I am very thankful for the care and information I received during this appointment.
