I love that Dr. Firestone listened to my concerns and made sure she ordered all the blood tests I needed to address my current challenges. She listened to me when I felt overwhelmed by my struggles and I really felt heard. She wanted to make sure I got the best care possible so she referred me to a trusted gynecologist that will help me address my hormonal issues / period pain. I left feeling hopeful that we will get to the bottom of my health issues.

Dr. Grace Firestone: This was my first appointment with her as my new PCP. I require a lot from my PCP to be a partner with me in my health and to advocate and listen to all my concerns as I track a lot of data and am very much into my overall health and related baseline metrics. With that said, Dr. Firestone listened to all my historical medical concerns and was able to provide valid feedback and a pathway towards continuing to monitor and track everything. She listened to all my concerns regarding certain blood tests I wanted to monitor my health and I very much appreciate that. She also was extremely responsive via email once she obtained my blood test results and crafted a very detailed email analyzing my results while providing insight into how to potentially treat anything that was an outlier. I also replied to the email and she responded the same day which is amazing and quite rare so I'm thankful to be able to get in touch with her and receive a response expeditiously! I look forward to continuing to partner with Dr. Firestone on my journey! P.S. Office: Everyone at the front desk was extremely nice and the office overall was very clean and organized.
