Sarah was very calm and understanding while I was talking. When I would veer off the subject she would easily bring me back to the subject with the utmost respect. She was very knowledgeable about my history and what she thought would be the best treatment for me going forward at this time. This was my initial visit and I was very pleasantly surprised at how well it went as I was nervous about what she may tell me after the evaluation.
