MY DOCTOR, MY FRIEND!

THAT IS HOW I FEEL ABOUT DR. BRANDSE. SHE IS ALWAYS THERE FOR ME WHEN I NEED HER. IF I DON'T CALL HER WHEN I HAVE A PROBLEM SHE REPRIMANDS ME, LIKE A FRIEND WOULD. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I WAS ON VACATION AND FORGOT MY MEDS. I CALLED DR. BRANDSE ON A SUNDAY MORNING. NO PROBLEM. SHE CALLED THE LOCAL PHARMACY AND MY MEDS WERE WAITING FOR ME I DID NOT HAVE TO TELL HER ALL THE MEDS I NEEDED. SHE KNOWS ME, MY MEDICAL HISTORY, AND THE MEDICATION I TAKE. I DON'T KNOW HOW SHE REMEMBERS ALL THAT INFORMATION - AND WITH SO MANY PATIENTS. WE ONCE TALKED ABOUT IT. I THINK IT'S A GIFT SHE GAVE HERSELF BECAUSE IT'S OBVIOUS SHE LOVES HER JOB. (AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES HER GARDENING?) WHEN I'M SITTING IN HER OFFICE I'M VERY COMFORTABLE.. SHE HAS MY FULL ATTENTION, BEFORE I MET DR. BRANDSE ALL OF MY DOCTORS WERE IN BOSTON. IN 1999 MY HUSBAND PASSED AWAY, AND MY TWO CHILDREN WERE MARRIED. NOW IT'S GRANDCHILDREN AND GREAT GRANDCHILDREN (WONDERFUL!!!). I WAS ALONE IN MY HOME AND DECIDED I NEEDED A LOCAL DOCTOR. MY FRIEND TALKED HIGHLY ABOUT DR. BRANDSE . I MET HER AND WE TALKED, AND TALKED! THE REST IS HISTORY. LUCKY LUCKY ME. WHEN SHE JOINED MDVIP THERE WAS A VERY SLIGHT HESITATION. BUT, DR. BRANDSE IS MY DOCTOR SO HERE WE ARE. I ALSO ENJOY THE ANNUAL VISITS TO HER HOME (EXCEPT 2023 THE YEAR OF COVID) WHERE I MEET HER OTHER PATIENTS, AND GET A CHANCE TO SEE HER OTHER PASSION - GARDENING. I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE DR. BRANDSE AT MY SIDE. THANK YOU MY FRIEND AND MDVIP.
