Answering in ways I understand

Nellie has been our primary provider for many years & we trust her implicitly.

Nellie couldn’t have been more empathetic and thorough. Thankfully I found someone who will hopefully stay here for a bit.

Nellie has been my provider for over one year and I’ve never been happier. She is patient and has explained every process to get me healthy. I had given up on doctors and figured I’d live a pretty anxious life until Nellie. From day one, she was determined to get me feeling better so she ordered a genealogy test. We found a medication that actually works after many trials with different doctors. This is just one instance of many great things Nellie has done and I hope she’s recognized for the amazing work she does.

When I first came to Nellie from another state, she took me off a few medications, thinking it was overkill. Yep, apparently I didn't need all of the ones I was on.
