joanne deferville 2, BSN, RN

I have been a patient of Joanne's for approximately 6 or 7 years. Because of her caring nature, it seems like I just started the program. She is a very compassionate person. When I first started the program, my late wife and I had a very extensive interview and Joanne's presentation of the program was one that we both could understand and had a great effect on us both. It outlined the importance of following the phase 2 and 3 programs. When my wife passed, Joanne explained to me how very important it was to continue my work in the phase 3 program. She reminded me as well as the other patients how important it is to bring our medical exam results, yearly stress test results, and medicine changes, as she keeps a close check on her patients. Joanne took the time to explain and educate me on how important diet and exercise were to my wellbeing. Over a period of several months, I lost approximately 70 lbs. and under her guidance, I was able to keep the weight off. I look forward to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week to continue my rehab. I am very proud to be a patient of hers.
