I'm very happy with my care provider. She pays attention to me. She listens to me. She makes sure I get any tests done that I need and necessary. But more importantly, she looks like me. So there's not enough doctors that look like me and her representation matters as a black woman. And so I'm excited that I get the care that I deserve and need from a black doctor.
