I am a very busy professional, and Dr. Caro has been compassionate from the beginning. However, I appreciate the fact she didn’t waste any time giving me some tools to help me get through my busy and crazy days! Of course, I understand the goal is not just to get through the day, but somedays….. 10/10 recommend!
