I love my therapist but unfortunately I will not be able to continue to see her due to Baptist new policy of forcing therapist to graduate their patients and discharge them. Not happy with Baptist changing policies at all but they do have an awesome staff.
I personally love a virtual appointment for therapy. It is great to not spend an hour in the car to get to an hour appointment once a month. I want to rave about Marianna but I also don't want her schedule to be so full I can't see her. She is the highlight of my month.
Rita Thanga takes the time to listen to issues and takes them seriously unlike providers I’ve had in the past. Being heard and understood makes a world of difference in care
Talking with Dr. Bryon helped me a lot, and I’ll be continuing with him. Now it’s on me to take his advice and keep moving forward. My overall health hasn’t been great, and I’m trying to find a way to manage this knee without jumping straight into a TKR. Being in pain every time I’m awake wears you down.
And with my history, the hesitation isn’t hard to understand. I had four DVTs and an SVT in 2025 alone. One of those DVTs hit on September 16th — just weeks after my July kidney stone surgery when I had to stop Eliquis for 2½ days. That was enough to spook me about going into a knee replacement, even though my MD Anderson hematologist has cleared me.
My mental health matters just as much as the physical side, and coping with this pain without relying on pain meds is a priority for me.
the dr actually listened to me. she also met me where I was instead of assuming all our respective privileges were the same. when I asked her for a therapist recommendation she understood my specific needs rather than assuming just any therapist would do because they're all highly trained.
