Multinodular Goiter – Multiple nodules inside the thyroid

Luisa is the BEST!!! Her and Bibi care about their patients and always seek the best method of therapies for each patient individually.

I love Luisa! She genuinely cares. She will go above and beyond for her patients. Even though sometimes I get discourage, she motivates me to push through. She doesn’t sugarcoat anything, she keeps it real!!… By far the best doctor ever!!

The best thing I have ever done for my diabetes was to start coming here. I have not felt this great in over 4 years. I came here with gastroparesis and blood sugars that were wildly out of control. Now I wake up every morning to blood sugars under 110 and many of my side effects from gastroparesis have ceased to exist. I cannot say enough good things about Louisa.
