I was quite concerned about my Dexa results. Dr Busse took the time to review past and present scans and found the last results are not as dire as I thought. She advised that I stay on Prolia injections and current supplements.

I HAVE recommended Dr Busse to others. From the first time I had an appointment with her I have felt listened to and supported. Although I know she has to enter and review information on the computer screen it is very minimal that she is not directly communicating with me face to face and actively hearing me regarding concerns, questions, etc. I only wish Norton provided more time for patients with doctors.
