Member Feedback:
"Dr. Raymond was very knowledgeable and spoke in terms that I could easily understand. She took a great time explaining in detail what she saw and allowed me to ask questions. I left the consult feeling confident in what we had discussed and what my next steps should be. Doctors like her are hard to find. You can tell she has a great passion for what she does. I can't thank her enough. For the first time in 8 months, I actually have hope that my problem can be identified and solved!"
