        Dr. Walewicz is the best endocrinologist I have ever had. She is the only one so far who it feels like we are collaborating on a puzzle. I have had so many endos who make me feel like it's my fault if I'm not getting the results I want, and Dr. Walewicz has never EVER made me feel that way. She talks to me like a friend and really listens when I explain things that are going well or not so much. She also always has a tip or trick to help me overcome barriers, like telling me there is a scheduled "automatic sleep mode" I could set up when I told her I was forgetting to turn it on. Past doctors I've had would have said, "Well you can't forget to turn it on," and just left me feeling stupid. Dr. Walewicz is amazing and I am constantly grateful that I found her!

        Dr. Walewicz listens to me, includes me, and it feels like we are coming together to brainstorm and troubleshoot, rather than pinning all of my health issues on me. She explains why things work the way they do, and is honest when the science is still not sure about something. If every diabetes doctor was like Dr. Walewicz, diabetics everywhere would have much better health.
