What's your favorite
aspect of your job? Providing a caring compassionate environment
where people can find relief not only physically but mentally as
well. Each individual that comes to see us is not looked at as a
patient or a number but rather as a person or a friend that is in
need of help. I enjoy listening and learning from the people that
come see us. It allows me to reflect upon my own life and learn
from patients.
