Sophia is the PA that took over the previous PA. Both PAs are great. I just had a follow up with Sophia for the first time. I have a long history of multiple symptoms and treatments related to my rheumatoid disease . Sophia is very thorough and seemed up to date on all my past symptoms and asked many questions in order to help maintain my treatment plan as seen fit. Very kind and friendly, when the video call didnt work on my end she just called me. Great PA!
