We had a tele-health visit. It went very well. We connected on time & had no technical problems. Dr. Kennedy was very helpful with suggestions on how to proceed a/medication & I felt very confident she is heading me in the right direction for good readings & less medication. She is very knowledgable & caring for my well being. She considers my age & other related health issues always! I have total confidence in her abilities to help me get on a better track to feeling better & functioning better.
