Kristina Trafelet, NP, always goes above and beyond my expectations. She has offered many alternatives for me. When my drugs were too costly, she set up a GoodRx card for me and explained how to use the card. When the pharmacy didn't have my prescription, Kristina called every pharmacy until she found one that had it. She then gave me directions where to go to get the medicine ASAP. When treatment affected me terribly, she offered some awesome home remedies when all else was failing. Kristina is so inspirational and caring. Every time I see her, she is positive, and I always feel hopeful and stronger after my visit.
