    Debbie is amazing as a provider. I truly feel as though she teaches me as she evaluates my daughter. She points out the tells of active arthritis, kindly teaches me the correct words for her condition and exactly what they mean - and she is extremely thorough with Ava. I feel as though Debbie cares for Ava genuinely and sincerely - and I think she probably does that with all her patients

    Gave options and explanation of what to expect. It was much earlier to settle into things. Very appreciative to the care they gave my daughter.

    RSD changed its name 29 years ago to CRPS type I for no nerve damage or type II with nerve damage. Concerned they weren't up to date. If it is RSD it should hurt all the time and burn and swell but it never did. I don't even know the name of the dr that came in to see me.

    I felt very rushed and like I wasn't consulted in the decision-making process. I think had I had a moment to think through things I would've had more questions, because now looking back I'm not certain I agree with the course of action they came up with. She took on the laptop what I think are all of the details about the things I was telling her. I just felt like she was trying to quickly get us out without maybe asking how we felt about the things they suggested. We definitely didn't feel like a team in my child's care.

    Cares about my wellbeing and health.
