“The clinicians were really nice people and willing to answer questions and hear feedback. I really enjoyed meeting the group and found the pharmacy session very helpful and educational. I would have liked to hear more about other types of pain management and perhaps hear from the group about anything they may have found helpful. Thank you so much for the opportunity to attend this clinic and the sessions and I have taken away a positive impression for people I encounter who would really benefit from this Group.”
