Ciera Ryan has, as usual, gone above and beyond to answer questions and explain details during my appointments. She made suggestions that I felt very comfortable with, and was so patient with everything I had to say. My recent appointment really brought home to me how caring, calming, and knowledgeable she really is, because I was feeling overwhelmed. She calmed me down and spent ample time kindly helping me with solutions to a number of problems. When my husband and I left, we couldn't stop talking about how kind, patient, helpful and knowledgeable she really is. She went above and beyond, without rushing me at all, and I am very very grateful to her! |
