dr. polite made me feel seen and heard. she made me feel like i was important and my care was important to her. even though she doesn't even perform the procedure she recommended, she talked me through my questions and empowered me to make decisions while supporting me the entire time. i fully trust that the surgeon she connects me with will be wonderful too.
