I have loved working with Kristy these past few weeks. She is attentive to her patients, extremely respectful of my personal preferences, and very open to different and unique ways of thinking. Not to mention, she answers every single annoying question I have very thoughtfully. I'd highly recommend if you are considering working with her.
