I was honestly nervous to go to the clinic. For fear I would be dismissed by my pains I've had in my wrist for 2 years (comes and goes). The fact that Dr. Garcia listened without any judgement in her demeaner, explained the diagnosis and then gave me multiple treatment options just floored me. Sometimes you are so used to being dismissed about pains (especially when they're not consistent) and she was the first person to take it seriously and offer me treatment aside from throwing pills at me. Thank you! It is so empowering to know that not every provider thinks you're crazy. :)
