"Helpful in teaching me about my condition"

Kay-Ann Robinson was very professional and welcoming. Her knowledge of my situation was very informative. So helpful in teaching me about my condition. She answered all my questions, plus more. I never felt rushed; I almost fell asleep because she was so gentle. Wonderful personality.
