I'm excited to announce that I will soon be able to see patients in Kirklin! I plan to open in April, but the exact date is TDB. I wanted to let you know so that those of you who live in that area can spread the word that I won't be so far away!

Check out the Dissolving Illusions website for free content as well as helpful graphs and
