| Patient Comment: |
After seeing 2 doctors about my Genotype 1 Hepatitis, I was referred to Dr. Andrea Reid who made me feel very comfortable and aware that I could live somewhat of a normal life with caution, rest and good diet. I am one of the lucky ones with no current liver damage. My viral load is very high which gives me constant fatigue. She is very knowledgable and caring about this disease and came highly recommended. I am glad I switched. |
