She's great. I love talking with her and working with her.

Reviewed January 2025

I was on the call early, but the provider did not log in.

Reviewed April 2025

She was engaged, kind, but also to the point, all of which was very much appreciated. I'm also grateful she made sure to point out several times that I can reach out as needed for additional support. This medication regimen is such old hat at this point that I don't expect surprises, but it's good to know she'd be available, as that's been a sticking point with prior physicians I've worked with.

Veronica is a calming presence that clearly understands her clients. I’ve been having a very rough time and I came out of my appointment feeling more positive and heard. When life is chaotic you need a baseline person to talk to, she’s it
