In Appreciation
I remember going to the seminar for Dr. David DeAtkine to introduce The MDVIP practice to his patients twenty years ago. I knew then no matter what I was following him. He had always been so supportive, caring, and kind. Dr. DeAtkine welcomed me years before this as a hypothyroid person who had been bullied and scared by a previous endocrinologist.
Since joining the MDVIP practice, Dr. DeAtkine has supported me through several personal and medical crises with a kind, understanding, and compassionate heart. No matter what subject I bring up, he has always been very knowledgeable in that area. It is evident that he does he research and stays abreast of new developments in the field of medicine and medications.
His support of me in helping me achieve my life goals has been unmeasurable. Through his guidance and support over the last two years, I have lost over 100 pounds. During this time, he has monitored my medical and personal progress as well as provided support emotional support. I no longer take blood pressure medications nor several other medications that I had taken while overweight. I feel like I have added years to my life, can keep up with my grandchildren, and am a much happier person.
I owe Dr. DeAtkine a deep sense of gratitude for being there for me through the years from his reassurance concerning my thyroid issues, to supporting me through personal and medical crises, and most of all for guiding me and helping me achieve a goal that I never thought possible- returning to a healthy weight and lifestyle. His support and compassion through the years have been immense and have nurtured me into becoming a healthy person again.
