      I very much enjoy dr. Distefanos energy. I can't say I've enjoyed going to the doctors before, but I definitely don't mind it now, she's awesome! She shows genuine concern and asks good questions to try to solve your health issue. I feel safe with her and she's easy to talk to. Isn't judgemental about your life choices like some doctors can be. Great addition to the already wonderful team!
