I was given very good advice by my doctor, regarding reducing my intake of wine, increasing hydration, and continuing my work in our vegetable garden. I look forward to a brain MRI in the future and have found the directions to help me get there. I learned a lot from the dementia tests and shared them with my grandson, who thought they were very interesting.

This care provider I have known for a number of years and she has been always attentive to my needs. It's never been rushed and she's always been thorough.

I am a health care professional with a master's in public health working in the cardiopulmonary space for a very large healthcare oriented organization delivering significant medical devices and I see horrors on a daily basis, especially at the primary care level. But I am always happy to know and feel relieved in the care that I receive from Dr. Schoonmaker. Thank you.
