Dr. Poa listens and is knowledgeable about my issues, often recommending vitamins or exercises that can be just as helpful as medication. I have a high level of confidence with her.

The experiences I have had with Dr Poa have been so unlike I’ve ever had with any primary doctor. Saying that better than I’ve had with any Dr throughout my life! I could tell from the way she moved that she was in pain but never mentioned it. I brought it up. She never changed the conversation to her but continued to set up referrals for me. I feel as though I’ve won the lottery with Dr Poa. Finally someone is listening to me regarding the pain I’ve been living with for so many years. I have hope again! Thank you so very much Dr Poa! I so appreciate your concerns to help me!
