What could have been done to improve your experience?
The time waiting after appointment time until appointment starts is always frustrating because like most of us I have too much to do and not enough time to get things done. I was nervous to switch gears and snswerbrnails or anything because I didn’t want to lose the telehealth connection.

Dr. Kovaleva spent as much time as was necessary. She listened very closely to what I said and responded with detailed explanations and even added some physical "tests" (push, pull strength, finger/hand/arm/leg strength, etc) based on my medical history. She even spent time helping me find an appropriate brace for my ulner nerve issue.

Dr. K is hands-down the best physician I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. She is VERY informative and offered options. She values my feelings towards treatment options. She took a concern I had from a visit previously (not with her) & she was genuinely concerned. She was going to address it. The Botox injections did not hurt this time. Adore her! Heather was amazing and very friendly. She was very thorough.
