    Carissa is very knowledgeable and explains things so I can understand. She even prepares me for the next visit and what to expect.Carissa's great care got me through extensive testing my orthopedic surgeon needed for my knee surgery. I am so grateful because the timeline was short for the surgeon's need. Carissa did it! She got me through the tests and cleared for surgery.
