"I have a long history of working in the hospital setting providing healthcare and have been disappointed with the way we provide care. Someone asked what I would do if I had billions of dollars. I said I would build my own medical facility designed for patients. It would have large windows, be in nature, patients would not feel like an inconvenience, and have lots of staff. They replied ‘So, you would still work’? I just laughed and said, ‘yes I would’."
“I absolutely despise going to healthcare appointments normally, so I'd been putting it off. As soon as I stepped into Janice's office I was immediately put at ease. She was thorough, listened to and addressed my concerns, and made me feel comfortable the whole visit. She also spent quite a bit of time with me compared to doctors I've had in the past, it was so nice! Will recommend to others. :) Also, I didn't catch the lady at the front desk's name. But she is also great!”
