Tim and Heather at Back Bay Health are a breath of fresh air. If you're experiencing chronic symptoms - such as ongoing pain, fatigue, or GI distress - you can often be dismissed or tossed around from doctor to doctor; here I was instead met with the utmost empathy, a wealth of knowledge, and an unparalleled dedication to seeing me through to well-being. In addition, these two individuals are simply wonderful humans that genuinely care about their patients! I'm thankful to have found a team that "gets it" and is there to root me on through the ups and downs of the climb toward better health.
