Rebecca's focus on fixing problems rather than masking them with medication was also highlighted as a positive aspect of their care. Before joining SIHF Healthcare, this patient was under the care of another healthcare provider who put them on steroids for almost a year, leading to kidney problems and a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. However, since switching to Rebecca's care, their health has significantly improved, and they are now only taking five medications compared to the eighteen they were previously taking. Rebecca's honesty and commitment to her patient's well-being were also highlighted as reasons for their positive experience.
