"What I didn’t know before I became a patient was just crazy. I can honestly say that Sylvia has been a lifeline to me. This is coming from a person who never really gave a doctor much credit. Besides the doctors for my children, I really never got the chance to know a good one. I was a no doctor person for the better part of 20 years. No health coverage for me meant no health management. I had children young and took the self-less approach to my health care. My children were first, and I was fine. Until I wasn’t. Fast forward 19 years, food was making me sick, almost all kinds of food -- sick to the point my family noticed. I chalked it up to age and stress. I was exhausted and finally just overall depressed. Not only did Sylvia take in interest in my “chart” but she looked beyond it to ask the hard question. Do you want to feel better or be better? Basically, those were her words to me, and it was then I knew she cared. Not only did she help discover the serious issues but she also made a plan that the diagnosis on paper would not be what defined my health. Can you believe it?! A doctor taking the time to be MY doctor? I still feel really lucky. Her interest and the energy she radiates encouraged me to take a good look at my food intake, supplement intake, and overall lifestyle. My family noticed and got on board. What a relief to finally see my husband and daughter care about themselves in ways I could have never convinced them was important. My household will always brag about these doctors and their office. The kindness that everyone in the office has including Dr. Bolster, Mrs. Bolster, and Sylvia gives a good name to the profession which boasts about saving lives. We are living proof they actually mean it. It makes a difference not just to feel better, but to be better. I will forever be blessed."
