Jan 26, 2024
I just had an appointment with Dr. Vanko on this pasted Monday and here is how it went. She is the sweetest woman and very knowledgeable about her craft. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She answered all of my questions and gave me some insight on some doctors and hospitals. I wish I can keep for the entire length of my pregnancy because she will only treat up to 12weeks.
