Ive had chronic pay for over 20 years and I appreciate her patience and thoroughness. It makes me feel heard and seen. I appreciate the time she spends answering all my questions when I know she must have a busy schedule. Having chronic pain is very challenging to deal with as a patient. Having someone who spends so much time with me to hopefully make thing better takes some of the stress away.
