Wow! Tanya was amazing! She asked many questions to tailor the treatment she would provide. She guided me through each of them to ensure my safety and comfort level. At the end of treatment she provided instructions for me not only verbally but on paper and asked if I had any questions. Looking forward to the next treatment to resolve my health issue. Everyone from the front desk receptionist to my experience with Tanya was excellent!!
