Dr. Shuler proved to be the subject matter expert, guidance counselor, and fountain of hope I was expecting and needed. She was exceptionally patient, fully transparent, and accepting of my vulnerability for help. She surprised me with her thinking outside the box and openness to the permanent relationship with my medical nutritionist. Unfortunately, I've encountered a few medical professionals who expressed insecurity, while Dr. Shuler honestly appreciated another medical professional fighting with me and for me.
