Dr Peperzak and her Intern were at all times emphatic and I came in with very little hope I could be helped and left knowing they will do all they can to help me
I feel comfortable with her, respect her honesty and feel I am taken seriously. She seemed empathetic for what I'm going through. I like her a lot.
