Dr Loveless was great!

January 5, 2022

*Dr. Lovelace was very approachable and definitely listened to my concerns. It's rare that an allopathic physician is open to hearing about alternative natural approaches to healing. I don't expect an allopathic doctor to be knowledgeable of alternative practices, but I definitely expect to be respected for my opinions & experiences and I feel *Dr. Loveless did a good job of that. I would definitely see her again & recommend her to others. We had a conversation. I don't feel that I was in any way talked "at" or down to. I feel that she is a part of my team for healthcare.
