Testimonials
My experience was amazing.
Honestly, it brought me to tears! In all my 30 years of nursing, I have never seen something work so smoothly between a PCP and specialty medicine. It saved my patient from seeing a cardiologist. She was thrilled! This is how healthcare should be–working together for the best of the patient.
