“Maureen has proven to be a valuable adjunct in my healthcare. I have been with her for the past 5 years. She is very detail oriented, explaining things thoroughly in layman’s language without being dismissive about questions or concerns. I have never reached out to her and not received an answer within 24 hours. She is compassionate and well known within the medical community and can suggest solutions and possible referrals to other Health Care Professionals. I am very pleased with my relationship with Maureen and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Maureen is fantastic, with a great sense of humour, very helpful, knowledgeable, top smile and extremely patient. I didn’t understand my treatment options at first. Maureen took the time to explain it two or three times in laymen’s terms terms very clearly. She is saved me money by getting me out of diapers! She has made some very helpful suggestions and I am no longer getting up at night or leaking urine!”
