Client testimonials
"Called back promptly & was able to get us in for an appointment in a timely manner."
- Zencare client • February 2022"Her office was very prompt in contacting us. She had convenient appointment times, including after 5pm and Saturday. When my son missed the start time for one appt, she contacted us & made arrangements to meet a bit later, instead of just logging it as a cancellation & charging us. She is pleasant & flexible. Much appreciated!"
