    Dr. Natalie Young has been the most responsive and accurate provider over the last 3 years. Her Dx and Rx and treatment interventions have been helpful, accessible, comforting, quality of life improving, and making an enormous positive improvement in other ways. One of the finest, most nuanced and current physicians ever experienced and certainly highest level of relational skill in patient and patient's family care ever experienced, anywhere.

    Dr. Referred us to a nutritionist, a place to get a blood test, and a therapist for strength. But we checked my chart on where we get the information to make an appointment with a therapist and nutritionist and didn't see anything. So we don't know how to find the nutritionist and therapist to make an appointment with.
