Nettie’s favorite patient encounter/memory: “I had a patient who was a bit on the cantankerous side and a bit hard to please. At some point in the conversation I just looked at her and asked if she needed a hug? She said would like a hug and the results were that her unhappiness completely melted. She left the office with a smile and contentment. I was grateful to have made a new friend and I won’t ever forget her.”
Nettie’s favorite motto/mantra: “ Life is better when you’re laughing!”

Away from the office, Sonia enjoys playing co-ed volleyball and taking her baby boy to the park to play.
Sonia’s favorite patient encounter/memory: “We had a patient who had suffered a stroke a few years ago. Although communication was a bit difficult, the patient was a beacon of positivity and I found her truly inspiring.”
