    How was your appointment with Dr. Atencio?

    Aug 27, 2020
    I loved her for how she treated me as a person and listened to my problems when it came to my health and chronic back pain. I moved to Florida and really missed her. Im back in Indiana and the pain management doctor that I see now I do not like and want to go back to seeing Dr Schlomer.
