    Dr. Deb Learson listened intently and normalized my concerns of discussing issues with intimacy. She recommended Vitamin B3 based on new research reporting lower incidents of recurring basil cell carcinomas with patients taking daily B3. We covered my health holistically, and ordered specialist visits, labs and a follow up bone density scan. Deb is extremely comprehensive, personable, and knowledgeable. She uses her extensive experience and learning to care for her patients. I highly recommend Dr. Learson as a partner and guide to help you stay as healthy today and tomorrow as possible!

    I really appreciated how Deb shared her philosophy of "meeting patients where they're at" because as a person with medical trauma (or any type of trauma) it is invaluable to feel like your provider is on your team, listening, and willing to collaborate. There are times when I want to avoid seeking medical care due to my medical trauma, but Deb makes me feel safe enough seeking that care.
