Rachel is amazing, thank you so much!
by Bradley on Dec 20
Rachel is very professional and knowledgeable and is more than capable of making thorough decisions on what type of treatments are necessary and what are not! She helps get to the ROOT problems and not just provide temporary solutions, she creates real solutions! I’ve been more than happy with the results and the environment she creates for the experience. 10/10 would recommend!
