As their name suggests, they are a group of physicians who make house calls and it is wonderful, especially when you are really sick. I have a terrible immune system, so the very last thing I want to do every month when I need to see my family doctor is go to my family doctor's office and expose myself to every single germ in their office, especially during flu season. My family doctor comes to my house where I don't need to think about extra germs. Recently I was really sick and needed extra care, including chest x-rays and everything I needed came to me. VPA made it happen. I had a chest x-ray while sitting on my sofa in my living room. With my old family physician, I would have needed to bundle up, have my husband take time off work, go to the hospital and expose myself to more germs while taking time away from resting. VPA is not the doctor for everyone, obviously, but for those special patients who do need that extra care, there is nothing like seeing that little white car pull up in your driveway.

When I moved to the area, I tried out many different chiropractors. Dr. Morton was the third one I…read morewent to and I just stopped there. His level of care is wonderful. I've taken each of my three children there from birth and onward; he works with our entire family to keep us healthy and functioning properly. He's always available when I need him which is more than what I can say for other chiropractors in the area. I've never felt pressured to come regularly if I didn't feel it was necessary; I feel as though I'm the one in charge of my family's care and he's there to help in whatever way he can. I would recommend him to anyone!

The only reason why I went to this quack's practice is that I had been attending long before he…read moredrove her practice in the ground. Dr. Jaworski retired when I was in college and I was really sad to see her go. I would walk out of the office in agony, but once it subsided I would feel great for weeks. She was personable and also introduced me to some supplements that fixed a digestive problem that I was having. About five years ago, I was rear ended at a toll booth by a semi that didn't stop quick enough and injured my back, Dusty's eyes lit up when he heard I had an open auto claim . He took one look at me and said "your back is incredibly messed up I am going to need you to come in three times a week." When I was in High School, I mentioned to Jaworski a much more minor bump I took and she immediately x-rayed me at no additional charge, so I am suspicious of the thoroughness of his investigation. He did pull out some gimmicky sensor that he rolled over my back which told me something I didn't already know: I was probably in a lot of pain and discomfort. During those visits, I got the impression that he cared more about getting that insurance money than "healing" me because he'd spend five minutes and make marginal adjustments and I went back to college soon enough. Last summer, I was involved in a serious car accident that I should have not survived. I walked away mostly in-tact but in a whole lot of pain. The next day, I sucked it up and rode my bike a mile and a half to his practice since the car was obliterated. By the time I reached the office in the July sun, I was in excruciating pain. His receptionist informed me that they no longer accepted auto insurance injury claims, but I could pay up front and get reimbursed later. I told her that I didn't have the money to pay up front because she had been dishonest with me on the phone 20 minutes ago. I asked if I could bring the money later when my friend was out of work and could give me a ride. This was an outlandish proposition to her. It apparently made no difference that my mother and I had been going there for 12 years. Dusty was "unavailable" to discuss a possible solution and that's she interrupted , "Well, what do you care about, your money or your health?" I replied that I had neither so it was best for me to leave. I returned home and left him a voicemail explaining the situation and stating that I was very dissatisfied with his practice and if he valued the patronage of myself and my mother* that he should reply. He never returned my call. *She quit going a year earlier because a different receptionist ignored her when she was trying to schedule her next appointment. Why should I wait 10 months before writing this review? I was willing to let all of this go until I caught wind that he was discouraging parents to vaccinate their children. No credible doctor would encourage this dangerous behavior, which is why I refuse to refer to him as "Dr. Morton". At least we will know who to thank when there's a huge measles outbreak at Sunset Lake 10 years down the road.

Jade and I have been friends for almost thirty years, so when she offered to be my doula for the…read morebirth of my first child, I wasn't so sure. As a healthcare worker (read: the worst kind of patient), I wasn't convinced I needed anyone else to see me in such a vulnerable state. But Jade patiently explained what she offered and how her support could make a difference during labor. I agreed--nervously--to have her there, and I am beyond grateful that I did. With a birth plan that basically amounted to "have a healthy baby," Jade helped me set realistic, empowering goals for my labor experience. She brought such a calm and comforting presence to the delivery room. Not only did she help ease my nerves, she also supported my husband, who wasn't used to seeing me as a patient. Jade gave me confidence when I wasn't sure what decisions to make or what my options were. After 30 hours of labor, when I opted for an epidural, she didn't judge--she supported me. And after 40 hours, when we decided on a c-section, she was right there again, holding space for me, wiping away my tears, and reminding me that I was doing what was best for my baby and myself. Her support didn't stop there. In the postpartum period, Jade has continued to be an incredible resource--offering thoughtful nutrition ideas and helpful strategies when stress began to affect my milk supply. She's personable, compassionate, and creates an environment where no question feels too small or concern too awkward to share. If you're considering having Jade as your doula, know this: she will show up, hold space, and support you wholeheartedly through every twist and turn of your birth journey.

That is what I will be talking about here. First: PARKING. THANK YOU, Bronson, for having enough handicap spots when I went. They are all right in front, with flat areas and no curbs. I appreciate this. Second: check-in. The staff member was friendly, polite, and quite helpful. She made sure that everyone was completely masked (not an easy task nowadays, although one would hope easier in a hospital). Third: genetic counseling. I hadn't known what to expect, but was a bit worried because of family cancer history. What I got was a complete science lesson, and SO Much compassion and empathy from my genetic counselor, Cynthia Murray. She spent over 90 minutes with me, going through each section we needed to cover, and, with kindness and grace, answered all of my questions. I came in worried and a bit stressed, and left calm and feeling like I could do this. Isn't that what we want, from a medical appointment? She made it perfect (thank you!).

I was not 15 minutes early for the appointment because the trees block the sign for the building and it's really hard to see the building.

For years, I've been interested in CrossFit, thinking it looks like something I would enjoy but…read morealso being intimidated by the idea of it. I'm here to tell you that I have drunk the CrossFit Kool-Aid and I'm here to stay. CrossFit Torrent is a spacious gym with a welcoming attitude. I joined a 28 day challenge for the month of January of 2020. The gym set aside special class times for beginners during the first week of the challenge. In these classes, they focused on technique and gave us some modified workouts to get us comfortable with what we could expect from a normal class. The challenge included three classes a week, home workouts and a meal plan. The results are real. I lost 9 pounds and my body fat decreased by 4.7% I like that the classes are always an hour long. I never feel like I'm competing with anyone but myself. I do my best to complete the workouts with the weight that works for me. It's nice to look at the more experienced CrossFitters to see what I could aspire to do someday. The main drawback may be that memberships are expensive and the most cost efficient option is to commit to a one year contract.
