Elise Puffer is the best! I've seen her for years and she truly, truly cares about me! I hate that she moved and the NP I was going to see at her former office, In my opinion, wasn't to concerned about my overall health. I'm going to try my best to continue on with Elise Puffer, but, the distance might be difficult.
