As a 50-year-old Black woman who is generally healthy and feeling good most days, my main focus…read moreright now is wellness--how can I optimize my health as I age? Lately, I've been struggling with moodiness and low energy, which led me to start researching hormones and their potential role in my symptoms. That's how I found Dr. Fuksina, and I am so pleased I did!
From the moment I walked into the office, I felt welcomed. The front desk staff was friendly and efficient, quickly verifying my health insurance and intake forms, which I had emailed on the day of my appointment. After a short 15-minute wait, I was seen by two different nurses/nurse practitioners, both incredibly kind and thorough in their questions and examination, taking standard vitals.
Then came the star of the show, Dr. Fuksina. From the moment she entered the room, I knew I was in the right place. We had a wonderful, in-depth conversation about my wellness goals, lifestyle, and the latest bloodwork I had brought with me. I had done quite a bit of research on peptides and emerging compounds, and she openly and knowledgeably discussed them all with me--something I greatly appreciated.
Dr. Fuksina spent over 45 minutes with me, carefully listening and offering insightful advice. She didn't just focus on what's wrong but instead took a proactive approach to how I can feel my best. That's exactly what I was looking for--a doctor who specializes in wellness, not just sickness. I want to co-create my health journey with a doctor who is invested in seeing me thrive, not just treating issues when they arise.
She ordered a comprehensive panel of specialized labs, and when I went to Labcorp, even the technician asked if I was working with a holistic doctor because the tests requested were so thorough. That, to me, was a sign that Dr. Fuksina is truly invested in understanding the full picture of my health.
I'm now eagerly awaiting my lab results and excited about the personalized plan Dr. Fuksina and I will craft together. If you're looking for a thoughtful, well-researched, and incredibly thorough doctor who will truly partner with you in your wellness journey, I highly recommend Dr. Fuksina!
