    Dr. Overbury has taken such great care of me and figured out what to do. I started to get sick and missed so much school and couldn¿t live a normal life and as a teenager this was so hard. Other drs in my town tried but couldn¿t figure out what to do for me but she did. I have a rare illness with rare side effects so it was very hard to figure it out but she did and I¿m getting better. I¿m so grateful for her!

    Dr Overbury listens, asks pertinent questions, explains tests, medications and ensures that I understand the treatment plan. She also asks me if the treatment is okay with me. I leave there feeling I¿ve got choices. When a person is in pain, having a say is important.
