And she’s a good listener.

I came to see Dr. Anderson for dizziness. None of the doctors I’d been to could help me. Dr. Anderson told me that she could help me get rid of the dizzinessbut that it would come back unless we treated the underlining cause. I decided to try it. My dizzinesswent away after only a few treatments, but after working on the cause I felt so good. I didn’t knowhow bad I was until I felt better.
