    I learned so much from Joan on this appointment. Joan is extremely knowledgeable and excellent communicator. She explains things so well and you can tell she loves her job by her upbeat personality and attention to detail. I know this visit will help me with my diabetes 2 as I learned so much from her. Emplify is very fortunate to have someone like Joan on their staff. She is second to no one in my opinion.

    I needed updates and a refresher on how to properly Limit carbs and saturated fats In my daily diet. Joan has an excellent way to explain things and provides Printed handouts as resources. I value her instruction and teachings and know that if I have further questions, that I can communicate via My Chart Or phone her. I needed her to guide me onto the right track, so I can plan healthy meals for myself. I cook from scratch and do not buy packaged, processed food. I understand those precooked Meals are hefty in sodium and sugar and I avoid them. Also, I hope to shed a few pounds after practicing her valuable healthy living lessons And to manage my Type 2 Diabetes more effectively following her instructions. I really feel much more confident in proper Diabetes Management, thanks to Joan.

    At the sparta Clinic, even though I have done all of my checking in online it requires me to still go to the front desk and check in with them. Part of the process here is to avoid excess human interactions and I take care of everything on my chart for my care whatever it's called. I think you need to update your process and streamline it a bit more.
