    I wish I could rate her a 10! Sonja Brandstrom is amazing. She not only explains everything in detail, but goes above and beyond to make sure that I can ask any questions and she takes time to answer them. She also was helping me make a future appointment with the surgeon because she knew I had specific reasons for needing it. That's just very much above and beyond. She is also very upbeat positive and makes one feel very comfortable.

    I was very pleased with how the doctor communicated with me. Taking time to explain my condition and answered every question. Very personable and showed compassion when informing me that I will require surgery

    I was surprised and relieved about my prognosis. I wish that I could have taken a written summary home with me, because my relief and gratitude distracted me from remembering all of the explanations and advice for rehabilitation at home. To be clear, the emotional support, medical explanations, and advice were very, very good, and I am extremely thankful.

    EXCELLENT VISIT. One of the best experiences I've had. I didn't realize how anxious I was about the first day(s) postoperative until this preop visit with PA Sonja. She listened and acted. I feel great knowing she will be in the OR as well.
