Hi Mary Ann,

I was your patient years ago at the UC Davis OBGYN clinic, and aside from my childhood pediatrician,
you are the first health care provider I’ve had that truly listened to me. I’m so glad I found your website.

Congratulations on your practice and the work you are doing to help women.
I have never forgotten about the care I received from you – and the inspiration you provided. I was
struggling with health problems and the stress of a teenager, but after leaving your office, I felt a huge sense of hope and possibilities for the future (especially in regards to choosing a career beyond
massage therapy, which I have done for years). After my son graduated from high school, I began
taking courses at Folsom Lake College, and next year I will be transferring to CSUS to study Health
Sciences with an emphasis in Community Health Education. My long-term goal is PA school, and
again, I must say, you have been a source of inspiration to me for this decision. Your kindness and
encouragement to think beyond the chapter of my life raising a child helped me think bigger, and it
planted a seed for planning for the future.
