I am fortunate enough to juggle my time between Washington, DC, and Lewes, DE. Recently my experience with my primary care physician in DC had became increasingly frustrating. The simple task of scheduling an appointment or requesting a refill turned into a lengthy ordeal, with endless waits on hold and a front desk reminiscent of high school cliques. You had the “meanies” along with the “inefficients” in an environment that had honestly become toxic.
My health began to feel like an afterthought to the practice and the provider I saw. However, my perspective has recently shifted after I stumbled upon an article in the Cape Gazette introducing Joanna Robertson, DNP, FNP-BC, PMHNP, and her new practice, Beachfront Internal Medicine and Mental Health Clinic.
Stepping into this whole new world felt like a breath of fresh air. Michelle, who oversees operations, exudes kindness and efficiency, setting a welcoming tone for the entire clinic.
The facility itself boasts a modern and inviting atmosphere. As someone in the healthcare field, I understand the value of care provided by a Nurse Practitioner like Dr. Robertson (she has her doctorate). Her extensive expertise, including a specialization in mental health, sets her apart.
Unlike typical MDs, Joanna's comprehensive three-year education in behavioral health ensures top-notch care for a range of conditions, from depression to ADHD. At the same time her qualifications allow her to treat most anything. The things that are out of her area of expertise, she refers to specialists in the area. They all love Michelle and Joanna, allowing you to get seen sooner than just coming in off the streets. (no promises but that has been my experience)
Since becoming a patient, my quality of life has positively increased. I needed something the other day, it was the holiday & I expected to leave a message. Who answered the phone, Joanna.
From receiving tailored medication to resolving minor ailments that would have previously required specialist referrals, every aspect of my care has been exceptional.
This testimonial may read like an advertisement, but it's simply a heartfelt reflection of my newfound better health and satisfaction. Anytime you can remove an irritant like I was experiencing from your life, you are better off.
In these times of such uncertainty, nothing should matter more than your own health and happiness. If you do not feel good, you cannot care for the ones who matter most to you.
